    Implementing For Loop in Informatica

    Uploaded by

    kiranch2004
    This document discusses using a Java transformation in Informatica PowerCenter to implement a FOR loop to generate multiple output rows from a single input row. The solution takes a source file with salesperson tour information and generates a target table with a row for each date in the tour range for that salesperson and place. The Java transformation loops through the dates using a Calendar object and generates an output row on each iteration, populating the salesperson name, date, and place fields. This allows dynamically generating multiple rows based on date ranges rather than a static number of rows.

    INTRODUCTION

    This article briefs about implementing FOR loop in nformatica using Java Transformation.

    REQUIREMENT

    Consider that we are receiving a '|' delimited flat file that contains the sales person's tour information.



    SOURCE


    SaIesperson Name | Tour from Date | Tour to Date | PIace

    SOLUTION OVERVIEW

    To achieve the above requirement we will be using the Java Transformation available in nformatica
    PowerCenter.



    SOLUTION STEPS



    SOURCE


    Delimited Flat File Tournfo.txt

    SaIesperson Name | Tour from Date | Tour to Date | PIace

    EXPRESSION TRANSFORMATION



    Port Name

    Data Type

    Type

    Expression

    Description

    String(255)




    Salesperson Name

    String(50)

    O

    Use the substring, instr function to
    retrieve the sales person name
    using the | delimiter.

    FromDate

    String(20)

    V

    Use the substring, instr function to
    retrieve the 'From Date' using the |
    delimiter.

    ToDate

    String(20)

    V

    Use the substring, instr function to
    retrieve the 'To Date' name using
    the | delimiter.

    Place

    String(20)

    O

    Use the substring, instr function to
    retrieve the 'Place' using the |
    delimiter.

    FromDate_out

    Date time

    O

    To_date(FromDate,YYYYMMDD)

    ToDate_out

    Date time

    O

    To_date(ToDate,YYYYMMDD)


    Expression transformation is used for retrieving the values from the flat file source and assigns values to
    individual ports.

    JAVA TRANSFORMATION


    Drag the java transformation into the Mapping.

    Create the following ports.

    Port Name

    Data Type

    Type

    Salesperson Name

    String(50)

    /O

    FromDate

    String(20)



    ToDate

    String(20)



    Place

    String(20)

    /O

    FromDate_out

    Date time

    O

    ToDate_out

    Date time

    O

    TourDate

    DateTime

    O


    Link the FromDate_out, toDate_out from the Expression Transformation to the From Date and To
    Date ports of the Java transformation.

    Under the Java code tab; mport Package tab place the below code:

    mport java.util.*;
    mport java.text.*;

    This is to import relevant java packages.

    Under "On InputRow " tab place the Iollowing code


    DateFormat formatter ;

    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
    FromDate_out =formatter.format(FromDate);
    ToDate_out =formatter.format(ToDate);


    Calendar startCal = Calendar.getnstance ( ) ;
    Calendar endCal = Calendar.getnstance ( ) ;


    Date date_start=new Date(FromDate.longValue());

    startCal.setTime ( date_start) ;


    Date date_end=new Date(ToDate.longValue());

    endCal.setTime ( date_end) ;




    for ( Calendar c = startCal; c.compareTo ( endCal ) <= 0; c.add
    (Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 1 ) )

    {

    Implementing FOR loop in Informatica PowerCenter


    TourDate= formatter.format(c.getTime ());

    generateRow();


    }


    The above code snippet uses the java calendar function.

    You can see for loop construction based on the from date and the to date,

    We need to link the salesperson name, Tour Date and Place ports from this java transformation
    to the target.



    TARGET


    ReIationaI TabIe TOUR

    Java transformation takes the 'from date' and 'to date' as input and a FOR loop is constructed.
    For each input row based on the 'from date' and 'to date' java transformation will generate
    multiple rows.

    n our case for a single row in source we will be generating 3 rows in target.

    ADVANTAGES



    Java transformation can be used to generate multiple rows based on a condition.

    Normalizer can generate rows based on the 'Occurs' clause where we will specify a static number
    but if you want to generate multiple rows based on a dynamic value then go for java transformation.
