Informatica Requirements

  • Informatica 9.1+ with repository hosted in Oracle.Python 3.6 - 3.10

  • Access to K landing directory Access to Informatica Repository (see section below)

    • Establish Informatica Repository Access

      • Create an Oracle user with read access to all tables in the Informatica repository database.

    • Establish Informatica Server Access

      • Create a user that has read access to the Informatica Server.

...

Step 1: Create the Source in K

...

The collector requires a set of parameters to connect to and extract metadata from Informatica

FIELD

FIELD TYPE

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

username

string

Username to log into Oracle

“myuser”

password

string

Password to log into Oracle

dsn

string

Datasource Name for Oracle, this can be one of the following forms

<tnsname>
<host/servicename>

“preprod”

local.example.com/oraservice”

repo_owner

string

This is the owner of all the tables required by the extractor

“inf”

oracle_client_path

string

Full path to the location of the Oracle Client libraries

“/tmp/drivers/lib/oracleinstantclient_11_9”

cached

boolean

If set to true if will prevent re-extracting data

false

input_path

string

Absolute path to the input location where runtime_session_overrides.json is placed

“/tmp/input”

output_path

string

Absolute path to the output location where files are to be written

“/tmp/output”

mask

boolean

To enable masking or not

true

compress

boolean

To gzip the output or not

true

KADA provides an out of the box script that reads a configuration JSON file and runs the extractor. Below is the configuration file.

...

Code Block
languagepy
import os
import argparse
from kada_collectors.extractors.utils import load_config, get_hwm, publish_hwm, get_generic_logger
from kada_collectors.extractors.informatica import Extractor

get_generic_logger('root') # Set to use the root logger, you can change the context accordingly or define your own logger

_type = 'informatica'
dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
filename = os.path.join(dirname, 'kada_{}_extractor_config.json'.format(_type))

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='KADA Informatica Extractor.')
parser.add_argument('--config', '-c', dest='config', default=filename, help='Location of the configuration json, default is the config json in the same directory as the script.')
parser.add_argument('--name', '-n', dest='name', default=_type, help='Name of the collector instance.')
args = parser.parse_args()

start_hwm, end_hwm = get_hwm(_typeargs.name)

ext = Extractor(**load_config(args.config))
ext.test_connection()
ext.run(**{"start_hwm": start_hwm, "end_hwm": end_hwm})

publish_hwm(_type, end_hwm)

...

If you are handling external arguments of the runner yourself, you’ll need to consider the following for the run method https://kadaai.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KSL/pages/1902411777/Additional+Notes#Extractor-run-method

Code Block
languagepy
from kada_collectors.extractors.snowflake import Extractor

kwargs = {my args} # However you choose to construct your args
hwm_kwrgs = {"start_hwm": "end_hwm": } # The hwm values

ext = Extractor(**kwargs)
ext.run(**hwm_kwrgs)

...

To edit the internal SQL being run refer to https://kadaai.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KSL/pages/1902411777/Additional+Notes#Adding-Custom-SQL

...

Step 7: Check the Collector Outputs

...

If you want prefer file managed hwm, you can edit the location of the hwn by following these instructions Additional Notes

Step 8: Push the Extracts to K
