Informatica Designer

The Designer has tools to help us build mappings and mapplets so we can specify how to move and transform data between sources and targets. The Designer helps us create source definitions, target definitions, and transformations to build the mappings.

The Designer lets us work with multiple tools at one time and to work in multiple folders and repositories at the same time. It also includes windows so we can view folders, repository objects, and tasks.

DESIGNER TOOLS:

• Source Analyzer: Use to import or create source definitions for flat file, XML, COBOL, Application, and relational sources.
• Target Designer: Use to import or create target definitions.
• Transformation Developer: Use to create reusable transformations.
• Mapplet Designer: Use to create mapplets.
