Informatica Metadata Queries - 3 INFORMATICA TABLES

3.1         List where a table is used

Sometimes you want to know if certain tables are listed in sql overrides of Source Qualifier or Lookup transformation. This helps you identifying dependencies. The query below will list folder, attribute type and sql override as output.

SELECT DISTINCT REP_ALL_MAPPINGS.SUBJECT_AREA, REP_ALL_MAPPINGS.MAPPING_NAME,REP_WIDGET_ATTR.ATTR_NAME, REP_WIDGET_ATTR.ATTR_VALUE

FROM REP_WIDGET_ATTR, REP_WIDGET_INST, REP_ALL_MAPPINGS

WHERE REP_WIDGET_ATTR.WIDGET_ID = REP_WIDGET_INST.WIDGET_ID

AND REP_WIDGET_INST.MAPPING_ID = REP_ALL_MAPPINGS.MAPPING_ID

AND REP_WIDGET_ATTR.WIDGET_TYPE IN (3,11)

AND REP_WIDGET_ATTR.ATTR_ID = 1

AND REP_WIDGET_ATTR.ATTR_VALUE LIKE '%' || REPLACE('TABLE_NAME', '_', '/_') || '%' ESCAPE '/'

ORDER BY 1,2,3

3.2         List all source and target tables of mapping 

SELECT DISTINCT SUBJECT_AREA,SOURCE_NAME,TARGET_NAME,MAPPING_NAME FROM REP_TBL_MAPPING

ORDER BY 1,2,3,4

3.3         List comments of all objects

SELECT

B.SUBJECT_AREA AS FOLDER_NAME, A.OBJECT_NAME,A.COMMENTS,  A.VERSION_NUMBER

FROM

REP_VERSION_PROPS A, REP_SUBJECT B

WHERE B.SUBJECT_ID = A.SUBJECT_ID

AND A.COMMENTS IS NOT NULL
