Option
| Argument
| Description
|
---|---|---|
-
| external_ID
| Required if you do not use folderNames.
External ID of a single-table object or a table-pair object. You can separate multiple external IDs with spaces.
If the folder name or external ID contains commas, spaces, or special characters, you will need to use different syntax.
|
--confdir
| conf_dir
| The user configuration directory. Specify the configuration directory if you have multiple Data Validation Option repositories on a client machine. If you have one Data Validation Option repository on a client machine and have not changed the configuration directory, you do not need to specify this option.
Enclose the file path in quotes.
|
--username
| User name
| User name in the Informatica domain for which you configured Informatica authentication.
Required if you configure Informatica authentication.
|
--password
| Password
| Password for the user name.
Required if you configure Informatica authentication.
If you set the password option, then do not set the ePassword option.
|
--ePassword
| Password Environment Variable
| Encrypted form of the password of the Informatica user name.
Use the DVOCmd EncryptPassword command to encrypt the password. Set an environment variable to the encrypted password and use the variable in the ePassword option. The command replaces the environment variable with the encrypted password and then decrypts the password.
If you set the ePassword option, then do not set the password option. If the command contains both the password and ePassword options, then the Data Validation Option uses the ePassword and ignores the password.
|
--namespace
| Namespace
| Namespace of the LDAP domain.
Required if you configure Informatica Authentication and the domain uses LDAP authentication.
|
--email
| email_ID
| The email address to which Data Validation Option sends an email when the tests complete. You can provide multiple email addresses separated by commas. The email provides a link to the test results and specifies whether the tests pass or fail.
If the PowerCenter Integration Service is running on Windows, configure the outgoing mail server with the following custom properties: SMTPServerAddress, SMTPPortNumber, SMTPFromAddress, and SMTPServerTimeout. To send mail with Microsoft Outlook, enter the Microsoft Exchange profile in the MSExchangeProfile configuration property in the PowerCenter Integration Service.
|
--sendEmail
| NotPass
| Data Validation Option sends an email if a test fails.
|
--cacheSize
| CACHESIZE
| Memory allocation to generate transformations in PowerCenter mappings. Increase the cache size for tests that contain multiple joins and lookups.
Default is 20 MB for the data cache and 10 MB for the index cache.
Specify "Auto" to enable PowerCenter to compute the cache size.
When you run the RunTests command and set the cache size, Data Validation Option installs the tests in the repository before it runs the test.
|
--folderNames
| folderA
| Required if you do not use external_ID.
Runs all objects in the specified folders.
Separate multiple folder names with commas
If your folder name or external ID contains commas, spaces, or special characters, you must use different syntax.
If the folders have a large number of objects, the PowerCenter Integration Service places them in a queue to run. The PowerCenter Integration Service limits the number of sessions that can run concurrently based on the Max Concurrent Runs property configured in the Data Validation preferences.
