Informatica server log: Informatica server(on unix) creates
a log for all status and error messages (default name:
pm.server.log). It also creates an error log for error
messages. These files will be created in informatica home
directory.
Session log file: Informatica server creates session log
file for each session. It writes information about session
into log files such as initialization process, creation of
sql commands for reader and writer threads, errors
encountered and load summary. The amount of detail in
session log file depends on the tracing level that you set.
Session detail file: This file contains load statistics for
each targets in mapping. Session detail include information
such as table name,number of rows written or rejected. yoU
can view this file by double clicking on the session in
monitor window
Performance detail file: This file contains information
known as session performance details which helps yoU where
performance can be improved. To genarate this file select
the performance detail option in the session property sheet.
Reject file: This file contains the rows of data that the
writer does not write to targets.
Control file: Informatica server creates control file and a
target file when yoU run a session that uses the external
loader. The control file contains the information about the
target flat file such as data format and loading instructios
for the external loader.
Post session email: Post session email allows yoU to
automatically communicate information about a session run to
designated recipents. U can create two different
messages.One if the session completed sucessfully the other
if the session fails.
Indicator file: If u use the flat file as a target,yoU can
configure the informatica server to create indicator file.
For each target row, the indicator file contains a number to
indicate whether the row was marked for insert, update,
delete or reject.
output file: If session writes to a target file,the
informatica server creates the target file based on file
prpoerties entered in the session property sheet.
Cache files: When the informatica server creates memory
cache it also creates cache files. For the following
circumstances informatica server creates index and datacache
files.

There are 2 files, Master and User. We need to compare 2 files and prepare a output log file which lists out missing Rolename for each UserName between Master and User file. Please find the sample data- MASTER.csv ---------- Org|Tmp_UsrID|ShortMark|Rolename ---|---------|----------|------------ AUS|0_ABC_PW |ABC PW |ABC Admin PW AUS|0_ABC_PW |ABC PW |MT Deny all GBR|0_EDT_SEC|CR Edit |Editor GBR|0_EDT_SEC|CR Edit |SEC MT103 GBR|0_EDT_SEC|CR Edit |AB User USER.csv -------- Org|UserName|ShortMark|Rolename ---|--------|---------|------------ AUS|charls |ABC PW |ABC Admin PW AUS|amudha |ABC PW |MT Deny all GBR|sandya |CR Edit |Editor GBR|sandya |CR Edit |SEC MT103 GBR|sandya |CR Edit |AB User GBR|sarkar |CR Edit |Editor GBR|sarkar |CR Edit |SEC MT103 Required Output file: --------------------- Org|Tmp_UsrID|UserName|Rolename |Code ---|---------|--------|------------|-------- AUS|0_ABC_PW |charls |ABC Admin PW|MATCH AUS|0_ABC_PW |charls |MT Deny all |MISSING AUS|0_ABC_PW |amudha |ABC Admin PW|MISSING AUS|0_ABC_PW |amudha |MT Deny all |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sandya |Editor |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sandya |SEC MT103 |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sandya |AB User |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sarkar |Editor |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sarkar |SEC MT103 |MATCH GBR|0_EDT_SEC|sarkar |AB User |MISSING Both the files are mapped through Organization, Shor_mark. So, based on each Organization, Short_Mark, for each UserName from User.csv, we need to find the Matching and Missing Rolename. I am able to bring Matching records in the output. But really I don't find any concept or logic to achieve "MISSING" records which are present in Master and not in User.csv for each UserName. Please help out guys. Let me know if you need any more information. Note:- In User.csv file, there are n number of Organization, under which n number Shortmark comes which has n number of UserName.
