Moving Microsoft SQL Server Bulk Data

Moving Microsoft SQL Server Bulk Data

Use the following procedure to move bulk data from or to an Microsoft SQL Server database on Windows. This procedure assumes that you are using PWXPC to integrate PowerExchange with PowerCenter.
Before you begin, get the following information:
  • Name of the SQL Server server
  • Name of the SQL Server database
  • Names of the SQL Server source or target tables
  • Database user ID and password
    From the PowerExchange Navigator, you can preview source table metadata and data before performing the bulk data movement operation. To view the data in each table column, perform a database row test on the personal metadata profile for the table.
To move Microsoft SQL Server bulk data:
  1. In the PowerCenter Designer, click
    Source
     > 
    Import from PowerExchange
     for a SQL Server data source or click
    Target
     > 
    Import from PowerExchange
    for a SQL Server data target.
  2. In the Import from PowerExchange dialog box, enter the following required attributes:
    • In the
      Location
       field, enter the PowerExchange Listener node name that you specified in the LISTENER statement of the local dbmover.cfg file if the SQL Server database is on the local system where PowerCenter runs. If the SQL Server database is on another system, enter the node name that is specified in the NODE statement of the local dbmover.cfg.
    • In the
      User name
       and
      Password
       fields, enter the user ID and password for accessing the SQL Server source or target tables.
    • In the
      Source Type
       list, select
      MSSQL
      .
    • In the
      Server Name
       field, enter the SQL Server instance name.
    • In the
      Database Name
       field, enter the SQL Server database name.
      Complete the optional attributes as needed.
  3. In the PowerCenter Designer, create a mapping.
  4. In the PowerCenter Workflow Manager, define a workflow and session and configure a PWX MSSQLServer relational database connection. Then start the workflow to perform the bulk data movement.
