What is mapping debugger?

Unlike the Preview feature, Debug mode executes the selected Map using the specified Connections. Debug modifies your target data, and the execution results display in your Execution History.

How does debugger work in Informatica?

Informatica designer provides the feature to use the debugger to debug mappings. It means we can debug and analyze any existing mapping. The requirement for the debugger is that the mapping should be a valid mapping. It will open source qualifier and target definition tables showing mapping inside Mapping Designer.

Why are breakpoints used?

Breakpoints are most commonly used to interrupt a running program immediately before the execution of a programmer-specified instruction. This is often referred to as an instruction breakpoint. Breakpoints can also be used to interrupt execution at a particular time, upon a keystroke etc.

How to debug an existing mapping in Informatica designer?

Informatica designer provides the feature to use the debugger to debug mappings. It means we can debug and analyze any existing mapping. The requirement for the debugger is that the mapping should be a valid mapping. In the exercise, we will debug our existing mapping “m_emp_emp_target” which we created earlier.

How to debug an existing session in Informatica?

When you use the existing session, Informatica will use the earlier session which you created for this mapping. When you select the create debug session instance, a new session instance will be created for debugging. In this example, we will select existing reusable session instance. The integration service will be the default.

How to get salary column value in Informatica using debugger?

Step 1 – Open Informatica designer and in designer open the mapping “m_emp_emp_target” by double clicking on it. It will open source qualifier and target definition tables showing mapping inside Mapping Designer.

How to track progress of debugger in IICS mappings?

Adding to Neeraj’s comment, please note we have a feature request IF-14747 raised for provisioning of debugger option while working with mappings in IICS. You can track the progress of it through Informatica Network portal.
