Course Overview

This course is an introduction to Informatica’s B2B Data Transformation for developers, analysts, and other users who are responsible for designing and implementing transformations. It also includes best practices for Parsing, Serializing, and Mapping tasks. This course is applicable to software version 10.2.0.

Objectives

After successfully completing this course, students should be able to:

  • Discuss the key concepts of the B2B Data Transformation 
  • Utilize parsing techniques 
  • Move information from an XML structure to an output format 
  • Perform XML to XML transformation with Mappers 
  • Discuss various preprocessors and their uses 
  • Describe locators, keys, and indexing and their uses 
  • Explain concepts such of Logic implementation via conditions and Specification-driven transformation
  • List the Streamers to process large documents and validators
  • View the notification process and failure handling techniques
  • Discuss the purpose of Libraries
  • Explore the usage of Data Transformation services in B2B Data Exchange and the usage of prebuilt libraries in Data Transformation
