Course Overview
About Free Online Informatica Training Course:
EduCBA brings you the free online Informatica training course. First we should know about Informatica.
– An Informatica is one tool that supports all the steps of Extraction, Transformation and Load process. It is used as an Integration tool.
– Informatica tool is an easy and simple to use. It has a simple visual interface same as like forms in visual basic.
– You just only need to drag and drop a different object which is known as transformation and design process flow for Data extraction transformation and load. These process flow diagrams are called mappings.
– Informatica server takes care of fetching data from the source, transforming it and loading it to the databases (or target systems).
– Informatica Power Center fixed the standard for highly scalable, high-performance enterprise data integration software.
– Informatica Power Center grants your IT organization to implement a single approach for accessing, transforming, and delivering data without having to resort to hand coding.
– The software scales to support large data volumes and also meets enterprise demands for security and performance. The PowerCenter Big Data Edition is designed to enhance the data integration across the Teradata Unified Data Architecture.
– Informatica can also communicate with all major data sources such as mainframe/ RDBMS/ Flat Files/ XML/ VSM/ SAP etc, which can move or transform data between them.
– It can move large amount of volume of data in a very efficient way.
– It can also do big updates in small piece of data to avoid long locking and filling the transactional log.
– It can efficiently join data from two distinct data sources even an xml file can be joined with a relational table.
– Informatica has the capability to integrate heterogeneous data sources and converting raw data into useful information.
– Informatica permits organizations to take a competitive benefit in today’s global information economy by empowering companies with relevant and trustworthy data for their top business imperatives.
– In short, Informatica is the world’s leading ETL tool and it’s rapidly acquiring market as an Enterprise Integration Platform.
Informatica PowerCenter is one of the Enterprise Data Integration products which developed by Informatica Corporation. Also Informatica PowerCenter is an ETL tool used for extracting data from the source, transforming and loading data into the destination.
– An Extraction part – It consists of understanding, analyzing and cleaning of the source data.
– A Transformation part – It involves cleaning of the data more accurately and modifying the data as per the business requirements.
– The loading part – It consist of assigning the dimensional keys and loading into the warehouse.
Why training of Informatica is required?
– Informatica is very useful in which data is and has been from the beginning created, stored and retrieved by incompatible systems.
– In the industry, between 30% and 35% of all of the data is still on mainframes, in languages and data structures that are archaic and generally unavailable. Also the wave of specialty applications such as HR, sales, accounting, and manufacturing have all contributed their share to the chaos.
– The latest development-growth in outsourcing, in all kinds including business processes, IT management and geographic will add even more complexity to the mix. So to integrate the data from the disparate proprietary systems and applications, the billions of lines of code, combined with the additional complexity of outsourcing etc., we want an Informatica.
– For all the above reasons, knowledge of Informatica is necessary.
– ETL tool is necessary in this. The problem comes with traditional programming languages where you wish to connect to the multiple sources and you have to handle errors. For this you have to write a complex code. The benefit of ETL tools is that they provide a ready-made solution for this problem. We need not to worry about the handling these things and we can concentrate only on coding the requirement part.
– Informatica PowerCenter is one of the tools of an Informatica which works on the basis of transformations which transform data in multiple ways.
– Also there is one reason for the necessity of the Informatica training and that is for fastest solution of extraction.
– For extraction and cleansing, we use ETL tools like Informatica, SAS etc. and then by using some Teradata utility, in a typical Data Warehousing environment. It is quite a slow in execution as compared to Teradata utilities, while the data load from ETL tools like Informatica.
– As we need to extract and cleanse data first before loading, the use of Informatica is must. So if we use Informatica tool for extraction first and then use Teradata utilities for loading which may be the fastest solution.
Informatica Training Advantages
An Informatica is also known as a data integration tool. Data integration tools are varying from other software platforms and languages. They have no any inbuilt feature to build the user interface. There are some advantages of informatica which as follows:
• Informatica ETL tool has its capability of enabling Lean Integration, Lean manufacturing is common concept, and this is one of the major benefits of an Informatica.
• Informatica also an advantage as like integration model.
• Informatica ETL is pleasant expensive tool where as other tools are very expensive.
• Informatica comes with internal scheduler unrelated to many other ETL tools where one needs to use third party scheduler.
• Informatica persist mainstream marketing strategy where it weights paper work, press release, web forums and network community which gives it leading edge in ETL space. Another ETL player believes more on direct client marketing.
• Informatica sessions can be classified logically into worklets and workflows in the folder.
• It starts to an ecosystem which is easier to maintain and quicker for architects.
• It is easy to monitor jobs using Informatica Workflow Monitor. Also have ability to restart from the failure step.
• Lots of connectors to various databases, including support for Teradata mLoad, tPump, Fast Load and Parallel Transporter in addition to the regular ODBC drivers.
• An Informatica also have the ability to publish processes as web services.
