Running a PowerCenter task

Running a PowerCenter task

Perform the following tasks before you run a PowerCenter task:
  • Ensure that the source and target definitions are current. If the source or target no longer contains fields that are mapped in the field mapping, the PowerCenter task fails.
  • If the PowerCenter workflow uses the $PMSourceFileDir\ or $PMTargetFileDir variables to specify the source or target file directory location, you must copy the source or target files to the following directory:
    <Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/Data_Integration_Server/data
    If you do not move the source or target files, the task fails.
  • If the PowerCenter workflow uses a parameter file, update the parameter file headers with the
    Data Integration
    project and task names. Ensure that you have saved the parameter file in a location that is accessible by the Secure Agent or in your cloud-hosted directory. For more information about parameter files, see
    Mappings
    .
You cannot run multiple instances of a PowerCenter task simultaneously. If you run a PowerCenter task that is already running, the PowerCenter task fails.
You can run a PowerCenter task manually or on a schedule:
  • To run a PowerCenter task manually, on the
    Explore
    page, navigate to the task. In the row that contains the task, click
    Actions
    and select
    Run
    .
    You can also run a PowerCenter task manually from the
    Task Details
    page. To access the
    Task Details
    page, click
    Actions
    and select
    View
    .
  • To run a PowerCenter task on a schedule, edit the task in the PowerCenter task wizard to associate the task with a schedule.
