What command is used to start session or batch?
Pmcmd      if it returns 1 session is failed
Informatica server removes failed batches from schedule.

What is role of Sequencial Batch and Concurrent batch which is useful?
Using Sequencial Batch the Informatica Server execute the next session only if previous session is completed.
It can configure next session only if previous session complete. If first session fails informatica server marks both session and entire batch failed, then remove batch from schedule.

Using Concurrent batch, informatica server starts all sessions within batch at the same time. If the time on informatica server is limited this concurrent batch is useful.  It reducing time to run sessions. you increase the chances of completing the sessions within a given time period.

If Session sends 40millions of data to staging area. Instead of running large session  we can improve session performace by divding one large session into 40 separate sessions running them concurrently in a batch.


What are diff. Between sequencial batch and concurrent batch?


Sequential Batch

Concurrent Batch
1) if the first session fails after correcting the session it execute the next session
1) if first session fails Informatica Server Ignores the first one and processing the next session.
2) you can recover data from the session that failed and run the remaining sessions in the batch.
2) if all sessions in a concurrent batch fail, you might want to truncate all targets and run the batch again.

What is the use of Batch Parameter File in Batch ?
Enter parameter file in batch property sheet to override parameter files used by sessions contained in batch.
To override session parameter file we use Batch Parameter File.
