In a certain mapping, there are 4 targets Tgt1, Tgt2, Tgt3, Tgt4. Tgt1 has a primary key,
Tgt2 and Tgt3 contain foreign keys referencing the Tgt1 primary key. Tgt3 has a primary
key that Tgt2 and Tgt4 references as a foreign key. Tgt2 has a foreign key referencing the
primary key of Tgt4. The order in which the Informatica Server loads the targets

Populate the Employee_Tgt.

Truncate the Employee_Tgt. Using Truncate Option in Session Properties before proceeding to
Exercise 2.

Populate the Employee_Tgt with Employees who joined the Company from 1993,

Map the following columns:

Source Column
Employees.EmployeeID
Territories.TerritoryDescription
Regions.RegionDescription
Employees. TitleOfCourtesy,FirstName, LastName
Employees. BirthDate
Employees. HireDate

Use the following tables as Sources from Northwind DB

Categories, Suppliers, Products

Map the following columns:

Source Column
CategoryName
ProductName
CompanyName
ContactName
ContactName
Address
City
Region

Target Column
CategoryName
ProductName
CompanyName
Contact_First_Name
Contact_Last_Name
Address
City
Region

Buiness Rules :
ContactName in the source should be split and populated into Contact_First_Name and
Contact_Lasst_Name.
The values in City column should start with a Capital letter.
Replace the NULLS in Region column with Unrecorded.
