Maintain Multiple Data Validation Option instances

Maintain Multiple Informatica DVO instances ========================================

We can create multiple instances of Data Validation Option such as Dev instance, SIT Instance or  Prod instance with a single DVO installation.

By Default Data Validation Option (DVO) will be installed in C:\Program Files\DVOSoft Directory and Data Validation Option configuration files will be stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator directory.

If you want to maintain multiple instances of DVO (Dev, QA, and Prod), we can do the following:

Step 1: Delete the contents of the C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\* directory.

Step 2 : Create Dev, QA and Prod folder in the same directory.

C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\Dev
C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\Qa
C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\Prod

Step 3 : Start the DataValidator with the following command:

DataValidator.exe “C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\Dev”
DataValidator.exe “C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\Qa”
DataValidator.exe “C:\Documents and Settings\\DataValidator\Prod”

This will store the respective configuration in corresponding Dev, QA and Prod folder.

We can also create the shortcuts for all these three DVO instances by editing the target definition properties as following:

Create three different shortcuts for three different configurations and this will avoid the issue of reconfiguring the DVO every time when you want to change the DVO repository instance.
