  2. For question 24, when you have a reusable session/object, if you want a non-reusable session with the same properties you can do that by dragging (first drag a bit and then catch the ctrl button) and drop the session into your workflow designer window, You will get a new non-resuable session with the same properties of the previous one and the name is also the same but suffixed with 1. You can enjoy trying this. This is not a bug, but a flexibility given by informatica to create a non-reusable session same as a reusable session.

  3. For question 13, Answer is a. Even if you type b, then also your IE will convert into the format of a. But for clearing your certification, you have say a.

  6. Sayasin -

    1) Answer is No - per my experience in implementing the best practices in informatica infrastructure.
    2) First thing any connections in informatica are Global Objects those are accessed across the folders within the repository but I recommended not to give access to the connections to other users which are not having access to the folder in which the connection is used.
    3) In case if they are using the same connection string (data base) they can have another connection with same database name.
    with this infrastructure will be completely compromise to the security compliance.

    Many Thanks

    Please let us know the Informatica version
    This issue incompatibility between Informatica Server Hot Fix versions and Client Hot Fix version.

    For Example : If your Server is built with Informatica 9.1 Hot Fix 4 and If your client is having Informatica 9.1 Hot Fix 2 You will see this issue. Both should be compatible server and client versions.

    Many Thanks
