Source Analyzer in Informatica

The source definition can be created using Source Analyzer tool. We can import or create the following types of source definitions in the Source Analyzer:

• Relational tables, views, and synonyms
• Fixed-width and delimited flat files that do not contain binary data.
• COBOL files
• XML files
• Data models using certain data modeling tools through Metadata Exchange for Data Models.

Note: We can either import a source definition or manually create the definition.
