what is filelist concept in informatica..

Answer / gsr

When you are using Flat File source you usually get the
header files separately from the data files. You may get
source data in more than one file. In such cases you give
the paths of all the data files in one file for eg say
list.txt. This file is called the list file. In the session
edit task window instead of giving the source filename you
enter the name of the list file - list.txt and in source
filetype you make it indirect.

Answer / shweta

When we use Flat file as a source we give the path of
directory where we store the file in Workflow.
But if we want data from multiple flat files then we put
the names of all flat files in a single file called as file
list.
In workflow mapping we give the path of list file and mark
the source filetype as INdirect as we are indirectly
accessing all the flat files.
