Informatica repository is used to store metadata information which will reside in a relational database. We can develop local and global repositories to share metadata information. Global Repository is the hub of the repository domain which is used to store common objects that multiple developers can use through shortcuts. A global repository cannot be converted to local repository and these objects may include operational or application source definitions, reusable transformations, mapplets and mappings. Informatica local repository is any repository within the domain that is not the global repository and it is used for development. These local repositories can create shortcuts to objects in shared folders in the global repository and can promote local repository to global repository. DataTerrain, with years of experience and reliable experts, is ready to assist. We have served more than 250 customers in the US and over 70 customers worldwide.

Scriptlets are sequences of Java code that are executed every time a report event occurs. Values of report variables can be affected through scriptlets. A scriptlet is a java class, which must extend either of the following classes: • net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRAbstractScriptlet − This class contains a few abstract methods that must be overridden in every implementation. These methods are called automatically by JasperReports at the appropriate moment. The developer must implement all the abstract methods. • net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDefaultScriptlet − This class contains default empty implementations of every method in JRAbstractScriptlet. A developer is only required to implement those methods depends upon the needs of their project. The following table lists some of the methods in the above class. These methods will be called by the report engine at the appropriate time, during the report filling phase. Method Description public void beforeReportInit() Called before report initialization public void afterReportInit() Called after report initialization. public void beforePageInit() Called before each page is initialized. public void afterPageInit() Called after each page is initialized. public void beforeColumnInit() Called before each column is initialized. Any number of scriptlets can be specified per report. If no scriptlet is specified for a report, the engine still creates a single […]

Creating Comments in Calculated FieldsIn any given workbook, you can create numerous calculated fields. Knowing exactly why you made a calculated field or what it does at the time is easy, but recalling that reason at a later date can lead to frustration and eat up valuable time.
