Informatica 7.1.5:How to replace the old connection with a new one

2008-03-02T06:02:00.001+05:30

How to replace the existing connection with a new
one without redefining all source/target/lookup connections in every
session?

All connections whichsover you will create will be stored into INfa meta.And thus any any changes in connection will make sessions invalid.
In that case after creating your new relational connection,replace the old one with new one.You can do that from the menu CONNECTION.

informatica 7.1 : While starting Informatica service getting error as " the informatica service started and then stopped"

2008-02-17T04:21:00.002+05:30

Check:-

1/
Are all folders like TgtFiles,SrcFiles,Temp,Cache,WorkflowLogs,LkpFiles,SessLogs etc in place?

2/The repository you have created is there in Informatica server setup?

HowToUnix: GPG Automation

2008-02-01T06:56:00.000+05:30

While automating encryption I faced the following issues.

$ gpg -q --yes -e -r Hasim File.txt
gpg: C2E7FAEF: There is no indication that this key really belongs to the owner
1024g/C2E7FAEF 2006-04-24 "Abul Hasim Molla "
Primary key fingerprint: B294 D02D D129 6224 B522 AE1F 4918 1E24 020C 23DC
Subkey fingerprint: 729E 52BF A281 0B2C 2073 7E27 262E DD2B 22E7 FCDF

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes

Use this key anyway? y

I tried with so many options of gpg like as --no-tty,-q,---yes and so on.
Finally I solved it as follows:-

1/ You have to say that you trust the key and know the recipient well. Thats the solution.
To do so:-
gpg --edit-key NAME
$gpg --edit-key Hasim

gpg (GnuPG) 1.2.6; Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

sub 1024g/C2E7FAEF created: 2006-04-24 expires: never
(1). Abul Hasim Molla

Means your key status as per gpg is undefined and unknown.

2/ And then you will be take to the command mode.

Command> trust
pub 1024D/0A0C23AC created: 2006-04-24 expires: never trust: -/-
sub 1024g/C2E7FAEF created: 2006-04-24 expires: never
(1). Abul Hasim Molla

Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly
verify other users' keys (by looking at passports,
checking fingerprints from different sources...)?

1 = Don't know
2 = I do NOT trust
3 = I trust marginally
4 = I trust fully
5 = I trust ultimately
m = back to the main menu

Your decision?

3/ Say you trust him/her.
Your decision? 5
Do you really want to set this key to ultimate trust? y

pub 1024D/0A0C23AC created: 2006-04-24 expires: never trust: u/-
sub 1024g/C2E7FAEF created: 2006-04-24 expires: never
(1). Abul Hasim Molla
Please note that the shown key validity is not necessarily correct
unless you restart the program.

Command>quit

And your problem is resolved.

2/

Send yours public key (HASIM_TEST.pub) to the remote server which is accepting ssh connection only.You can send them the key as a zipped file or by just copying and paste.
That remote server will add your publc key in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
3/
Once they have appended you can check it whether you can connect them or not by ssh -v remote_user@remote_machine
It may ask you for the passphrase whcih you have supplied at time of priv-pub key pair generation.
To get rid of entering passphrase you can add yours key in id_rsa by using ssh-agent :-
#home/abulhasi $ ssh-add id_dsa
Enter passphrase for id_dsa:
Identity added: id_dsa (id_dsa)

That can not be done directly.But workaround is make a TARBALL and then FTP it.

To compress using tar
tar -cvf DestFile.tar SourceFile

To compress using compress

compress SourceFiles
By default all files will be compressd to SourceFiles.z

Informatica7.1:HIER_28004 XML Reader Error:Could not retrieve a block from the DTM

2007-05-20T16:08:00.000+05:30

We use to load almost 2-3 millions data from XML per day.Nowadays we were getting a strange kind of error as in the title.
We have our mechanism which can remove the error HIER_28056.But that mecanism can not solve this error.So many files were failing.I identified that it was happening due to smaller buffer size.I increasec the DTM size and its solved.

US gun culture

2007-05-02T02:36:00.000+05:30

Couple of weeks before there was an incident in Virginia Tech.One South Korean chap open fired in VT campus and killed several students and teachers.The discussion of that shocking incident is still in the air.Being a new comer here I got shocked hearing that its permissble for you to keep gun.In india its not permissible and as per my knowledge except Phillipines its evrywher not permissble in Asia.And you can buy gun and firearms easily if you are older that 21.

And peoples have different views of keeping gun or not.Obviously for the weak hearted,peace loving Software engineers its always not keeping gun but theres a large community to support gun also.
They have two big organisation also NRA and community of gun owners
I heard many debates.

LOGICS of GUN LOVING PEOPLES:-

-To keep their life safe they use gun.
-If miscreants know that they have gun they will dare to attack.
and many more.
check for the brain washers by them
here

LOGICS of PEPOLES AGAINST GUN:-

-You may kill yourself by your gun while you in mental depression.
-A hot tempered people may kill others at the heat of the moment.
-Dont compare the no of death by gun with no of death in car accident et all.Can both be termed as accident always?car accident is always an accident.Whats about gun death?

CONCLUSION:-(Not by me)
The concusion which seems true to me from ASIA SENTINEL
"US gun laws gave Cho Seung-hui (the killer in VT ) the firepower to commit his carnage...
Cho pulled the trigger but America put the gun in his hands."

Informatica7.1:What is version control in Informatica7.1

2007-05-01T00:04:00.001+05:30

Version Control is a new enhancement in 7.1
It means that you can go back to any of the previous development phase of a mapping or session.

Whenver you are developing a mapping/session it will be in check out mode by itself untill explicitly you have not checked it out.

Some points to remember:-

Version controlling option you need to specify at the time of creation or later.
But once you have choosed you can not revert back yours repository at non-version mode.

Sunny Days in Sunnyvale....

2007-04-27T03:33:00.000+05:30

The concept of city is different here than India.here cities has average area of atmost 100 sq mile.
That is some how 1/4th to 1/5th of big cities like Delhi,Kolkata.

And here cities are adjacent to each other.Like as we have our office in Palo Alto and while going office we start from Sunnyvale,cross another city Mountain View and then comes Palo Alto.

All the three cities comes under Silicon valley.
When we say silicon valley mostly those cities comes under this umbrella.
* Campbell
* Cupertino
* East Palo Alto
* Fremont
* Gilroy
* Los Altos
* Los Altos Hills
* Los Gatos
* Menlo Park
* Morgan Hill
* Mountain View
* Milpitas
* Palo Alto
* Redwood City [2]
* San Jose
* Santa Clara
* Saratoga
* Sunnyvale
Here almost 1000 Fortune companies has their head quarter.

In all bay area there are a lots of indians,pakis or chinese.Lots of South Asian resturants also.You will never feel away from home or other way you will never get the full charm of America.

Tour2US...1

2007-04-24T11:54:00.000+05:30

We have reached there by Cathay Pacific...Its somehow good airlines in comparison to the other.I dint have the aothority to compare but heard from the seniors who have flied by china airlines,malaysiaa airlines or other.But they concluded that British Airlines is the best.Anyway,I have enjoyed the whole flight.It served all asian foods and liquors.But as dont have that habit I gulped fruit juice and wathed movie in the whole flight.

We reached San Frncisco International Airport at about 1.00 pm local time.The view of the bay area from the flight is superb.The silicon valley is surrounded by mountains from both side like adring the sea by two hands.

We have taken shuttle (this is a kind of shared car ).In this we were four-me,naveen,satosh( a guy of wipro-blore and another guy...i am forgetting his name).

Hotel was booked already in Town House Inn in El Camino Real.Here we met Gerald and Sandeep.Gerald was known to me through Parthiban but Sandeep was unknown.
