File Directory Fields for Mapping Objects
Effective in version 9.5.0, system mapping parameters are the default values for flat file directory, cache file directory, and temporary file directory fields in mapping objects. System parameters are constant values that define the directories where the Data Integration Service stores cache files, reject files, source files, target files, and temporary files. You define the values of system parameters on a Data Integration Service process in the Administrator tool.
The following table lists the default values for these directories:
Object | Directory Field | Default Value |
|---|
Flat file data object | Source file directory | SourceDir |
Flat file data object | Output file directory | TargetDir |
Flat file data object | Reject file directory | RejectDir |
Aggregator transformation | Cache directory | CacheDir |
Joiner transformation | Cache directory | CacheDir |
Lookup transformation | Cache directory | CacheDir |
Rank transformation | Cache directory | CacheDir |
Sorter transformation | Work directory | TempDir |
Previously, the default value for all of these directories was ".", which stood for the following directory:
<Informatica Services Installation Directory>\tomcat\bin
When you upgrade, the upgrade process does not change the value of these directory fields. If you used the previous default value of ".", the upgrade process retains that value.
