如何基于列值在Informatica中生成动态目标​​文件

Question

Scenario: Generate different flat file target based on the Location name, like separate files for Mumbai.dat, Bangalore.dat, and Delhi.dat

Source file: Dept name Dept ID Location DWH 1 Mumbai Java 2 Bangalore Dot net 3 Delhi

I am able to achieve it by transaction control component and output file target field but the problem is I am trying to create workflow and in session associated to this mapping I want to pass input file and output file as parameters that will populate through parameter file but I am getting error in reading input file however when I hard code the path with filename it's reading that perfectly.Apart from this output file is getting created with zero byte and not dynamically when I am trying to pass parameters for that.Can someone please help with workflow parameter file and how to use it in this case?

Answer 1

Edit your target file definition and tick to include a FileName port. Then its normal mapping logic to pass the desired filename through to this port. Informatica will send the record to file with name as specified by the port
