What are 2 modes of data movement in Informatica Server?
The data movement mode depends on whether Informatica Server should process single byte or multi-byte character data. This mode selection can affect the enforcement of code page relationships and code page validation in the Informatica Client and Server.a) Unicode - IS allows 2 bytes for each character and uses additional byte for each non-ascii character (such as Japanese characters)b) ASCII - IS...

the two types of modes are:
1) Normal Mode in which for every record a separate DML stmt will be prepared and executed
Bulk Mode in which for multiple records DML stmt will be preapred and executed thus improves performance.amolrenose
- Sep 18th, 2011
Data Movement Modes
1. ASCII mode :- Single byte of data is processed.
2. UNICODE mode :- Two bytes of data is processed.
Data Loading Modes
1. Normal Mode :- Commit is executed after 10000 records (default).
2. Bulk Mode :- Commit is executed after all records have been loaded. -

if supported by the database bulk load can do the loading faster than normal load.(incremental load concept is differnt dont merge with bulk load, mormal load)
ram_infa
- Sep 14th, 2011
It's totally depends upon the requirement. generally bulk load is faster caz it won't write the data to database logs so we can't do session recovery where as in normal load it is very slow comparing to bulk but the advantage is we can do session recovery..

How to join two tables without using the Joiner Transformation.
ram_infa
- Sep 14th, 2011
If both the tables are relational we can join both the tables using sql override but if one table is relational and another table is a flat then we've to use joiner transformation.
vikota
- Apr 12th, 2011
If both the tables are available in same database by using source qualifier we can join i.e by using customized source qualifierif the tables are available in different database by using lookup we can join i.e one is source table and other is lookup table

Nope! when you use bulk loading you can't recover the rows caz it won't write database logs.

Hi all, recently i was asked by the interviewer like,in the concept of mapping parameters and variables, the variable value will be saved to the repository after the completion of the session and the next time when u run the session, the server takes the saved variable value in the repository and starts assigning the next value of the saved value. for example i ran a session and in the end it stored a value of 50 to the repository.next time when i run the session, it should start with the value of 70. not with the value of 51.how to do this. if any one knows how to do this pls. reply.thankskumar

Session: A session is a set of commands that describes the server to move data to the target.
Batch : A Batch is set of tasks that may include one or more numbar of tasks (sessions, ewent wait, email, command, etc..,)
There are two types of batches in Informatica:1. Sequential: When Data moves one after another from source to target it is sequential
2. Concurrent: When whole data moves simultaneously from source to target it is Concurrent

Define informatica repository?
The Informatica repository is a relational database that stores information, or metadata, used by the Informatica Server and Client tools.
