MIGRATION TO PRODUCTION


Information to be provided
After coding and testing has been done in development, the following information should be provided to the Informatica Development Team so as to facilitate movement of code. This could also be true for enhancements/Bugfixes existing mappings/Sessions

1. Project name

2. Folder in development

3. List of session/mapping names

4. If any scripts need to be moved then the list of the same

5. Date when the movement has to be made

Review before movement
The Informatica Support group will review mappings and Sessions before it is moved from development to Production, following are some of the important points
1              Check if existing database connector/FTP connectors/ External loaders have been used
2              Check if the failure scripts have been added, refer to the Best Practices session for more details
3              Location of scripts/intermediate files and any datafiles
4              Location of lookup and other Caches
5              If any intermediate files are being generated as a part of the process then they should be deleted at the end of the process
6              Check if any existing code or setting can cause a known bug
7              Check if the Scheduling could effect the performance of existing sessions
8              Suggest process improvements to improve efficiency. Any project team could approach the Informatica Support Team during the initial stages of the project for process review. If the methods used to code may affect the existing systems then they will not be moved into production.
Restartability
