How to avoid problematic and unwanted connections while refreshing the Connections in DVO Repository


As we know we can refresh the folder list, the Sources, Targets folders and connections in DVO repository and however whole process will consume lot of time for refresh to happen.
In order to save time we can explicitly follow certain steps to skip the unwanted connections being refreshed from Powercenter repository into the DVO repository.
Here are the steps we can follow to do so:
§  Close the Data Validation Option Client
§  Create a text file and name it as ‘ExcludeConns.txt’
§  Add the file to the root directory where Data Validation Option is installed. For example, add the ‘ExcludeConns.txt’ file to the following directory: C:\Program Files\Informatica9.5\DVO952
§  Edit the file and just add the name of the connections which were to be excluded from importing\refreshing
§  Open the Data Validation Option Client
§  Refresh the connections again
Note:
1)    We can run the pmrep listConnections command to list all connections in a PowerCenter repository)
2) Data Validation Option searches for this file name before importing the connections.

What is Data Validation Option ? What can be tested ? To answer above two questions, Data Validation Option is a ETL Testing tool which comes along with power center and enables to test and validate data Data Validation Option reads table definitions from Power Center metadata repositories, and checks the data for inconsistencies Verify that moved or transformed data is complete and accurate and has not been changed because of errors in the movement or transformation process Will not check the correctness of transformations or mappings designed in Informatica Data Validation stages A typical workflow or stages for data validation consists of multiple tasks- 1. Data Validation Option reads one or more Power Center metadata repositories 2. We define the validation rules(creation of tests) in Data Validation Option 3. We run the rules(tests) to ensure the data conforms to the validation rules. When we do this, Data  Validation Option performs the following tasks: 1.

Data ware house is relational database which is subject oriented, integrated, time-variant and nonvolatile collection of data used to support strategic decision making process Subject Oriented Data warehouses are designed to help you analyze data. For example, to learn more about your company's sales data, you can build a warehouse that concentrates on sales. Using this warehouse, you can answer questions like "Who was our best customer for this item last year?" This ability to define a data warehouse by subject matter, sales in this case, makes the data warehouse subject oriented. Integrated Integration is closely related to subject orientation. Data warehouses must put data from disparate sources into a consistent format. They must resolve such problems as naming conflicts and inconsistencies among units of measure. When they achieve this, they are said to be integrated. Nonvolatile Nonvolatile means that, once entered into the warehouse, data should not cha
