8.6.0clientpcd, then it opens pcd as follows
Connect to the repository named mano by double click on mano, then enter user name and
password as mano_2011

2. In oracle create two databases as source (UN&PWD:src_2012) and target (UN&PWD: tgt_2012) and
create two tables src_empl and tgt_empl respectively.
Then in informatica choose Tools  Source analyzer, then choose sources  import from database
and Create the ODBC connections for source and target databases as follows;

4. (Similarly for target DB)
Enter the password as src_2012 and click on connect, then it displays the tables of source database
as
Select the table src_empl and click on OK. Then the table will be imported to source analyzer
workspace.

5. Similarly click on target analyzer and import the target table from the database as
Then choose mapping designer and drag and drop source table and target table into the mapping

and targets.

9. For the target table tgt_empl set relational connection value=tgt_conn_2012, target load type =
Bulk. Then click apply and click on OK button.
Then choose workflows menu and click create and give the name for it as wf_s_m_ex_tgt_empl and
click on OK button then it will creates a start Icon on the workspace, then drag the session on to the
work space, then choose tasks and select link task and draw a link between start icon and the
session as

10. Then right click on workflow and choose start workflow and it executes the mapping and shows the
output window as follows;
If execution completes successfully then shows status as succeeded, otherwise it shows status as
