Config Objects in Informatica

What -- When you open a session task, you can see a Config Object tab where you need to specify number of configuration options for your session. few of them are listed below

Error Handling Options --
If you want to maintain error logs or not, and if yes, how do you want to configure it?
How your session should react if the error occurs? Whether it should fail or continue ignoring the error?

Log Options --
How do you want to maintain session logs?
How much size you want to dedicate for it?

Partitioning Options --
How many partitions do you want to create for your session?
Enabling / Disabling a partitioning .

Why -- When you are working on a project, all mappings associated under that project should have / follow same architecture. Means, all object configuration settings should exactly the same for all the workflows / sessions for your project.
One way of doing that is to manually change these settings every time you create a new sessions. However there are chances of overlooking / missing something when you do it manually. Informatica provides you an easiest approach to create a Configuration Settings of your own.

How -- To create a new Configuration Settings of your own, at workflow manager go to task tab and under that Session Configuration option

Once you click on that a new window will appear, which will prompt you to give your default settings and save those.


Here I have given a new name 'MySessionConfigSettings' and selected required parameters.

Once you create your Config Settings, you just have to after creating a new session.

at Config Object tab of session, you can choose / change the Config Object Setting by clicking on "Config Name" drop down.

Once you click on Config Name drop down, a new window will appear which will prompt you to choose the available configuration settings. As soon as you select the new Configuration Settings, your session will reflect the corresponding options.
