Recording Input from a Workbench Session

This section provides information on how to record from a Workbench session.

Modify the Workbench’s shortcut properties (in Windows - use the

Start

menu to access the Workbench shortcut, and right-click to obtain the shortcut Properties. Changing the command line (e.g.

C:\InformaticaIR\bin\wrkbench.bat

) by adding the

-cFileName

parameter will set the shortcut up to start the WB client in record mode. For example, specifying:

C:\InformaticaIR\bin\wrkbench.bat -cc:\temp\test.txt

This will start the Workbench in record mode and allow you to record all your calls in the file called

test.txt

in the

c:\temp

directory.

If you are planning to use the Batch mode frequently, it is convenient to create separate shortcuts or scripts for each mode.

After entering the Workbench, the following screen will be displayed:

To start recording, click the

Create New Record

button, then input your call criteria, perform the appropriate call to SSA-NAME3.

Click the

Record Input Parameters

button.

Repeat as many times as there are input records. Once you have recorded enough, completely closing the Workbench which will write and close the batch file.

An example of the saved file containing two input records is shown below:
