  1. Informatica Productivity PackSave Time and Money while Increasing the Quality of Your PowerCenter Deployment Louis Hausle

  2. Are these issues you have run into? Best Practices Violations even though you have them documented! Abuse and misuse of SQL overrides, log verbosity or commit/cache/dtm buffer size? Zombie Workflows?

  3. Development accounts for less than 50% of time More Time and Money Spent on Testing and Monitoring You can shrink the TCO of PowerCenter by automated Testing and Monitoring

  4. What Exactly is the Productivity Pack?( it is a Sales Bundle of Three Products)

  5. Agenda Development – Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter – Governance Testing – The Informatica Data Validation Option – DVO Production – Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter - Operations

  6. Every PowerCenter Customer Has Best Practices, Nearly Every One Struggles to Enforce Them!

  7. Challenges in Data Integration & Governance • Best Practice Enforcement • Most companies have no way to enforce best practices • Production Impact • Unchecked Development Practices and Choices can lead to Fatal Mistakes in Production • Measure and Quantify Development Work • How can you track many developers in different locations?

  8. 1. Enforcement of Best Practices • Customer Challenges • How do you monitor many developers in many locations, all the time? • How do make your Best Practices Actionable and enforceable as they happen?

  9. 2. Production Impact of Development Options • Customer Challenges • There are hundreds of development flags and options on Mappings, Workflows, Sessions and Transformations • Customers can have dozens, hundreds and thousands of Workflows

  10. Agenda Development – Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter – Governance Testing – The Informatica Data Validation Option – DVO Production – Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter - Operations

  11. The Data Validation and Testing Dilemma Informatica has over 4,000 PowerCenter Customers who believe using a metadata driven, graphical tool to move data is better than writing SQL and hand coding. 15 years later, 99% of those 4,000 Customers still use SQL and Excel to test the data they have moved in data integration products. There has to be a better way…

  12. Current Approach: Like a Photo Hunt

  13. Data Validation Simple Illustration Source A Target (DW or Operational System Data Integration Or Movement Source B DVO - tells you 1 Order and $10,000 is Missing In a few clicks it does set, aggregation and value tests.

  14. DVO: Test CreationLeverage your PowerCenter Metadata!GUI with Pre-Built Test Operators with NO SQL

  15. DVO: Test ResultsSummary of Test Results

  17. Informatica built these solutions to address three common customer concerns… • Customers asked for a “Complete, PowerCenter Centric” Monitoring Solution • Customers want to become “Proactive” in seeing issues before they turn into problems. Send email alerts instead of logging in to a monitor. • Scalable way to identify anomalies such as Workflows running longer/shorter than normal or returning more/less rows than normal.

  18. What is Proactive PowerCenter Monitoring? • Prebuilt Rules to Monitor Informatica PowerCenter • Delivers Alerts to people, dashboards and systems • Complete Operational and Best Practices • Extensible – build unlimited number of new rules

  19. Solution Overview Proactive PowerCenter Monitoring SQL Sources to Expose Repository Features and Allow Easy Rule and Report Building Environmental Monitoring • Runtime Statistics Receiver via Web Services Hub Ping PowerCenter Services Notification Framework for Alerts Prebuilt EMAIL Responses Prebuilt Dashboard Alerts PowerCenter Workflow Response to Execute Commands Custom: Environmental (CPU, Memory..) DB (SQL) JMS Web Services Alert Enrichment DBs, Web Services and more… Alert Editing, Creation and Management • Operational • Design Time • Start/Stop Workflows • Create Help Desk Ticket • Update Control Tables

  20. Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter Illustration of Components that are Monitored PowerCenter The PowerCenter Domain, Integration Services and Repository Services are Monitored The PowerCenter Repository Database is Monitored for Up/Down and Tablespace Usage The PowerCenter Server OS is Monitored for Memory and CPU Usage Running Workflows and Sessions are Monitored Over 500 Attributes can be used in rules Domain Database Repository Service Administrator Integration Service Server Application Server

  21. DEMONSTRATION of PROACTIVE MONITORING FOR GOVERNANCE • Check for Commit size violations • Check On Rollback Transactions on Errors • Naming Conventions and Check for Comments
