How to Seggragate Header, Footer and Trailer Records in Informatica Cloud ?

Question

Hi All, This is my source file Structure which is Flat File. Source File : "RecordType","Creation Date","Interface Name""H","06-08-2015","SFC02""RecordType","Account Number","Payoff Amount","Good Through Date""D","123456787","2356.14","06-08-2015""D","12347","2356.14","06-08-2015""D","123487","235.14","06-08-2015""RecordType","Creation Date","TotalRecordCount""T","06-08-2015","5" The Source File has to be loaded into three targets for Header , Detail and Trailer records separately. Target Files: File 1 : Header.txt
"RecordType","Creation Date","Interface Name""H","06-08-2015","SFC02" File 2 : Detail.txt "RecordType","Account Number","Payoff Amount","Good Through Date""D","123456787","2356.14","06-08-2015""D","12347","2356.14","06-08-2015""D","123487","235.14","06-08-2015" File 3 : Trailer.txt "RecordType","Creation Date","TotalRecordCount""T","06-08-2015","5"  I tired this solution below :  1.  Source ---> Expression ]-----filter 1---Detail.txt                                        -----filter 2---Trailer.txt  In source , I will read the records starting from 3rd row. This is because, if i read from first row, the detail part contains more fields when compared to Header part. Header Part contains only three fields. So it is taking only first three fields records in Detail Section as well.That's why I am skipping the first two records(Header fields and header record) .. refer the example.. In filter 1, condition is Record_Type = 'D'. In Filter 2 , condition is Record_Type = 'T'.So, the filter 1 will load to Detail.txt and Filter 2 Will load to Trailer.txt In task , pre session command, Calling the windows .bat script to fetch the first two lines and load into Header.txt  This solution is working fine..  My query is can we use two pipeline flow in a same mapping in Informatica cloud.?  Pipeline Flow 1  Source ---> Expression ]-----filter 1---Detail.txt                                    -----filter 2---Trailer.txtPipeline Flow 2  Source ---> Expression ]-----filter 3(Record_Type='H')---Header.txt Source file is same in two flows. In first flow, I will read from the third row, skipping the header section as I mentioned earlier.In second flow , I ll read the entire content and take only header record and load into target.  If I add the flow 2 to existing flow 1.  I am getting the below error..TE_7020 Internal error. The Source Qualifier [Header_Source] contains an unbound field [Creation_Date]. Contact Informatica Global Customer Support.  1. Do informatica Cloud supports, two parallel flow in a same mapping ?2. Any other best solution for my requirement?   Since I am new to Informatica Cloud, Can anyone suggest any other solution if you have?? It will be more helpful if you guys suggest a good solution ..  ThanksSindhu Ravindran

We are using a Webservices Consumer Tranformation in our mapping to connect to RightFax Server using a WSDL url via Business Service in a mapping.Here in the mapping, where we are sending the input parameters through a flat file and then connecting to Rightfax Server via WS Consumer transformation and then fetching the data and writing to a Flat File.  07/28/2015 10:10:49 **** Importing Connection: Conn_000A7T0B0000000000EM ...07/28/2015 10:10:49 **** Importing Source Definition: SRC_RightFax_txt ...07/28/2015 10:10:49 **** Importing Target Definition: GetFax_txt ...07/28/2015 10:10:49 **** Importing Target Definition: FaultGroup_txt ...07/28/2015 10:10:49 **** Importing SessionConfig: default_session_config ...    <Warning> :  The Error Log DB Connection value should have Relational: as the prefix.    <Warning> :  Invalid value  for attribute Error Log DB Connection.
