Hi

These are some ways unix works with Informatica.

1) In unix box, we can create a SCRIPT which calls informatica session  and make the session run.
2) We can UPDATE STATISTICS or CLEANUP files by creating pre defined functions.
3) Also, I can call sql files through the scripts to create/drop staging tables, creta index....
4) Create dependencies among various sessions.
5) create parameter files and define session and mapping variables like DBCONNECTION, proc_dt, badfile name, log file name...


Not very much sure how to install informatica on unix.
