The key range partitioning in Informatica distributes rows of data based on a port or set of ports that you define as the partition key. Guidelines to create key ranges are mentioned below. ● The partition key must contain at least one port. ● The range for each port in the partition key should be specified. ● The Informatica PowerCenter standard date format can be used to enter dates in key ranges. ● The workflow manager does not validate overlapping string, numeric ranges, the gaps, or missing ranges. When you define key range partitioning at a source qualifier transformation, the Informatica Integration Service defaults to pass-through partitioning if you change the SQL statement in the Source Qualifier transformation. If a row contains a null value in any column or falls outside of the key ranges then the integration service sends that row to the first partition.

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 […]
