Export to PowerCenter Overview

You can export objects from the Developer tool to use in PowerCenter®.

You can export the following objects:

Mappings. Export mappings to PowerCenter mappings or mapplets.

Mapplets. Export mapplets to PowerCenter mapplets.

Logical data object models. Export the logical data object models to PowerCenter mapplets.

You export objects to a PowerCenter repository or to an XML file. If you export objects to an XML file, PowerCenter users can import the file into the PowerCenter repository.

When you export objects, you specify export options such as the PowerCenter release, how to convert mappings and mapplets, and whether to export reference tables.

You can export mappings and mapplets that contain parameters. The parameters resolve to the default values when you import the mappings to the PowerCenter repository.

Use the Developer tool or the required export command to export to PowerCenter to reuse the metadata.

To export data from the Model repository into the PowerCenter repository, complete the following tasks:

Export Model Repository objects to a file using the Developer tool or with the following command:

infacmd tools ExportObjects

Or, you can directly run

infacmd ipc ExportToPC

to export.

Convert the export file to a PowerCenter file using the following command:

infacmd ipc ExporttoPC

Import the objects using the PowerCenter or with the following command:

pmrep importObjects

Export to PowerCenter
