In the Data Replication Console, you can drill down from a replication configuration to view the associated intermediate files. The idradmin user can view the content of intermediate files for all configurations. Regular users can view the content of intermediate files for the configurations that they own. Also, if you know the intermediate file name, you can view the file directly, without drilling down from the configuration. This feature is primarily for use by the Data Replication administrator and Informatica Global Customer Support.
You can view the following types of items in intermediate files, even if the files are encrypted:
A list of records in the file
The records of a particular transaction
The before and after images for each record in a .dat file
Optionally, you can filter the records in an intermediate file by record type, table, or date and time.
After the Server Manager removes a processed intermediate file, the file contents are no longer available for viewing in the Data Replication Console.
