Question { TCS, 9148 }

two types of data are there . one is mainframe and the other
is ascii format . in informatica how can you get both the
data in a single format in ascii .

Answer

code page will be used to read/write data properly, w/o
missing anything. To read mainframe data, appropriate code
page needs to be used e.g. ebcdic. Ascii code page will be
used to read ascii format data. Once the sources are
finalized with code pages, then these sources can be used in
mapping. If required normalizer transformation can be used
to read mainframe data. Once required operation is done
through transformation logic then target can be written into
ascii by using ascii code page.
