Unix commands for Informatica

The thing is we need to understand why should we learn Unix commands for Informatica


step1: run pmcmd
You will get pmcmd prompt
pmcmd>

step2:. run connect command to connect to repository/ cd to go to informatica server directory
pmcmd>connect
it will ask repository name/password

step3: run whatever command you need (startworkflow,stopworkflow,abortworkflow,starttas t.....)

Some more useful commands would be
PMREP
The pmrep is a command line program that you use to update repository
information and perform repository functions. It´s installed in Repository
Server installation directory, it is usually ( $PM_HOME/repserver ). You can
execute this command like a command line or you can execute from a script
UNIX.
This command has got a lot of options, for example, you can connect to a
repostory if you execute the following command:

pmrep connect
-r
-n
-x
-h
-o

INFASETUP

INFAREP
INFACMD

infasetup is under .../server
infacmd is under .../server/bin

during one process a file is generated in one path and during the running of the worflow you want it to place in another path so for this we need to use unix command "cp soure pathname targt pathname".

Generally all informatica jobs are automated and for this automation we need a tool in general unix based tools are prefered like control-m autosys.. etc. so for the job to run tru tools it must be in the unix script form so there pmcmd worflow name ... etc will be used/
