Updating Informatica Power Center Tasks
If you are not using the default TargetX/Informatica Default Directory Structure you may need to update your PowerCenter tasks to locate and convert your fixed-width source files for TargetX Standard Template task flows.
- Confirm that you have an XML editor installed on your computer. Notepad++ (Windows) and TextWrangler (Mac) are two free options
- Log in to Informatica via Single Sign-On
- Navigate to Applications > PowerCenter Tasks
- Click edit next to the task you wish to update
- Click the "Download XML File" button
- Open the downloaded XML file in an XML editor
- Using the search feature in the editor, find all instances of the "Source file directory" and "Output file directory," changing the file path as needed.
- Once all instances of the path needing to be changed are updated, save the XML file.
- Return to the Informatica PowerCenter task and click "Upload XML File."
- Click "Save"
