How can you create or import flat file definition in to the warehouse designer?

U can not create or import flat file defintion in to warehouse designer directly.Instead U must analyze the file in source analyzer,then drag it into the warehouse designer.When U drag the flat file source defintion into warehouse desginer workspace,the warehouse designer creates a relational target defintion not a file defintion.If u want to load to a file,configure the session to write to a flat file.When the informatica server runs the session,it creates and loads the flatfile.

While creating flatfiles manually, we drag and drop the structure from SQ if the structure we need is the same as of source, for this we need to check-in the source and then drag and drop it into the Flatfile, if not all the columns in the source will be changed as primary keys.

1] Add the metadata of source file into Informatica designer using source
analyzer and save source file definition in the repository.

2] When we drag
the source file definition into warehouse designer work space, the warehouse
designer creates a target definition with metadata.


3] Create a mapping using mapping designer and save it in repository.


4] Create work flow, session task and link work flow and session task.


5] Add session properties and save them in repository.


6] Start "Informatica" service and execute the work flow.


7] When Informatica server runs the session, it loads the data of flat file
into target warehouse table.
