Scheduling sessions /batches ect ...

[ProDev]

Hey guys,

Please, let me be cleared of something ...

I had heard that if the batch/session is scheduled in Informatica
Server Manager and the server(Informatica)is running on the machine,
then you are done for shceduling part. Then, what for do you use
corntab or any other softwares (for job scheduling) ??

Thanks.

Yes u can schedule jobs using Informatica Server manager
but if u do not like to use this way also u can use
cron utility of Unix to schedule the Batches/Sessions.
For this u need to use PMCMD command to be given in the unix shell scripts which crontab is going to call.

This is a different and very basic question regarding scheduling Informatica sesions. Hope someone will help me.

In loading a star schema, we need to load the Dimensions before the Fact. According to the manual, we can configure the Fact session as "Run if Previous Complete". Please help me figure out how to put this session configuration in place. I am using Informatica 5.1. Thanks.
