Testing a Personal Metadata Profile

Testing a Personal Metadata Profile

You can run a database row test for a table in a personal metadata profile to preview data.
The PowerExchange Navigator allows you to select columns with datatypes that PowerExchange does not support. A database row test fails when you include columns with unsupported datatypes.
  1. Open a personal metadata profile.
  2. On the
    Personal Metadata
    tab in the
    Resource Explorer
    , double-click a table to open it.
  3. To get data for specific columns, select these columns in the
    Table
    window.
    PowerExchange adds the selected columns to the SQL SELECT statement that is generated in the
    SQL Statement
    box in the
    Database Row Test
    dialog box.
  4. Click
    File
    Database Row Test
    .
    The
    Database Row Test
    dialog box appears.
  5. In the
    DB Type
    list, click the data source type. Then, enter any information that is associated with the data source type.
    Select the
    AS4_META
    data source type only at the direction of Informatica Global Customer Support.
  6. The
    Fetch
    list is disabled. For a personal metadata profile, the default option is
    Data
    .
  7. Optionally, edit the SQL SELECT or DTLDESCRIBE statement in the
    SQL Statement
    box.
  8. If you selected the
    CAPX
    or
    CAPXRT
    access method, enter an application name in the
    Application
    box.
  9. If you selected the
    CAPX
    ,
    CAPXRT
    ,
    DB2390IMG
    , or
    NRDB
    access method, click
    Advanced
    to enter override values for the row test. Then, in the
    Advanced Parameters
    dialog box, enter any of the available override values for the source type. These values override certain values in PowerExchange definitions or configuration files, such as data maps or the DBMOVER configuration file.
  10. In the
    Get
    n
    Rows
    field, enter the number of rows that you want the row test to fetch. You can display up to 99999 rows of data at a time. By default, PowerExchange displays ten rows of data.
  11. If you selected the
    CAPX
    ,
    CAPXRT
    ,
    NRDB
    , or
    NRDB2
    data source type and selected
    Data
    in the
    Fetch
    list, you can have the row test skip a specific number of initial rows before displaying data. To skip rows, specify a number from 1 to 99999 in the
    Skip First
    n
    Rows
    field.
  12. Click
    Go
    .
    The
    Database Row Test Output
    window displays the results of the database row test.
