Where do you create Informatica Mappings
-
Designer
-
Workflow Manager
-
Workflow Monitor
-
Source Analyser
In the Informatica PowerCenter ETL suite, the Designer Tool is specifically where mappings are created. Mappings define the data flow from sources through transformations to targets. The Workflow Manager is for creating workflows (which execute mappings), Workflow Monitor is for monitoring running workflows, and Source Analyzer is for analyzing and importing source definitions. The question tests knowledge of the correct tool for the mapping design task.
Informatica PowerCenter's Designer client is where you build and edit mappings, connecting source and target definitions through transformations. The Workflow Manager and Workflow Monitor are used later, to schedule/run and monitor those mappings as workflows, not to create them. Source Analyzer is a component within Designer used only to import source definitions, not to build the mapping itself.
