Overview
The PowerCenter Unstructured Data Option adds powerful data transformation capabilities to PowerCenter workflows. It lets you read data in unstructured and semi-structured formats, transform the data, and write it to a target. For example, you can use the Unstructured Data Option to read the data in the following formats:

Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, WordPerfect, Star Office, ASCII reports, HTML, undocumented binaries, RPG, and ANSI Industry-specific formats, such as HL7, ACORD, FIXML, SWIFT, PL1, MVR, ASTM, EDI-X12, EDIFACT, and XML standards AFP, postscripts, and DJDE Allows greater visibility into all enterprise data. Eliminates the need for hand coding to access unstructured and semi-structured data. Enables you to conform to mandated industry data formats, which helps ensure regulatory compliance.

Access to unstructured and semi-structured data provides the following benefits:

The Unstructured Data Option includes the Unstructured Data transformation, which integrates with the Itemfield ContentMaster data transformation system. It lets you run ContentMaster services in PowerCenter. Complete the following steps to use the Unstructured Data transformation: 1. 2. 3. In ContentMaster Studio, configure a data transformation and publish it as a ContentMaster service. In the PowerCenter Designer, configure a mapping that uses the Unstructured Data transformation to activate the ContentMaster service. In the Workflow Manager, configure and run a workflow that uses the mapping.

Chapter 1: Working with the Unstructured Data Transformation

Installation and Configuration

The Unstructured Data Option installs when you install PowerCenter. You need an Unstructured Data Option license to use the option. After you install and configure PowerCenter, configure the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) settings in ContentMaster to use the JVM that installs with PowerCenter.

Minimum System Requirements

Complete the following task before you install and configuring Unstructured Data Option:

Install and configure ContentMaster Engine 4.0.6. For more information about installing and configuring ContentMaster Engine 4.0.6, see Getting Started with ContentMaster and ContentMaster Studio User's Guide.

Install the Integration Service and ContentMaster Engine on the same machine.

Configuring Java Virtual Machine Settings in ContentMaster on UNIX

If the Integration Service is running on UNIX, you must ensure that ContentMaster uses the same Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as PowerCenter before you use ContentMaster to create data transformations, you must ensure that ContentMaster uses the same Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as PowerCenter. If ContentMaster uses a different JVM than PowerCenter, the session may shut down unexpectedly. You must include the JVM location directory path for the Integration Service in the CMConfig.xml file. CMConfig.xml is in the ContentMaster installation directory.
To configure Java Virtual Machine settings in ContentMaster on UNIX: 1. 2.

In CMConfig.xml, locate the JVMLocation attribute. Change the attribute value to the path of the JVM installed with PowerCenter. For example, on Solaris you can change the attribute to the following:
<JVMLocation>PowerCenter8.1.0/java/jre/lib/sparc/client</JVMLocation>

The following table shows the JVM path for each Integration Service platform:
Platform AIX HP Linux Solaris JVM Directory Path <PowerCenter8.1.0>/java/jre/bin/classic <PowerCenter8.1.0>/java/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server <PowerCenter8.1.0>/java/jre/lib/i386/client <PowerCenter8.1.0>/java/jre/lib/sparc/client

Installation and Configuration

For more information about configuring JVM in ContentMaster, see the ContentMaster Studio Workbench User Guide.

Verifying the Java Runtime Environment on UNIX

If the Integration Service is running on UNIX, use the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provided by Informatica, instead of the JRE available when you installed ContentMaster. If you have installed ContentMaster, modify the file CMConfig.xml to associate with the JRE provided by Informatica. You need to verify the JRE path in the environment variable and in the file CMConfig.xml.
To verify the JRE path on UNIX: 1. 2.

Go to the ContentMaster installation directory. In the setEnv.csh or setEnv.sh environment variable, add the following entry:
setenv CMJAVA_PATH <JVMLocation>:<PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/lib/<OS>

Where <JVMLocation> is the directory of JVM location settings and <PowerCenter8.1.1> is the directory of Integration Service installation.
3.

In CMConfig.xml, look for the following entry:

<Java> <Home><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/bin</Home> <MaxHeapSize>64</MaxHeapSize> </Java>

4.

Verify that the JVM location setting are the same as the settings in the following tables based on your operating system. The following table shows the JVM location settings you for 32-bit operating systems:
Operating System AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris JVM Location Settings <JVMLocation><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/bin/classic</JVMLocation> <JVMLocation><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server </JVMLocation> <JVMLocation><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/lib/i386/client</JVMLocation> <JVMLocation><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/lib/sparc/client </JVMLocation>

Chapter 1: Working with the Unstructured Data Transformation

The following table shows the JVM location settings you for 32-bit operating systems:
Operating System HP-PARISC HP-IPF JVM Location Settings <JVMLocation><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0W/server </JVMLocation> <JVMLocation><PowerCenter8.1.1>/java/jre/lib/IA64W/hotspot </JVMLocation>

Installation and Configuration

Configuring Data Transformations in ContentMaster

Before you can use an Unstructured Data transformation, you need to publish a ContentMaster service. A service is a data transformation, which has one of the following service types:

Parser. Converts any data format to XML. Serializer. Converts XML to any format. Transformer. Modifies the data in any format.

During the PowerCenter session, the Unstructured Data transformation runs a ContentMaster service to parse the data. For example, an Unstructured Data transformation can activate a ContentMaster parser service, which transforms binary or text inputs to XML. Similarly, an Unstructured Data transformation can activate a ContentMaster serializer service, which transforms XML to other data formats. By chaining a parser and a serializer in a single PowerCenter mapping or in sequential mappings, you can use ContentMaster to transform any data format to any other data format through XML.
To configure and publish a data transformation in ContentMaster: 1. 2. 3.

In the PowerCenter Designer, click Tools > ContentMaster Studio to launch ContentMaster Studio. In ContentMaster Studio, configure a workspace containing the data transformation that you want to run. Use the Workspace > Publish as Service command to publish the transformation as a ContentMaster service. This lets ContentMaster Engine run the transformation outside ContentMaster Studio.

For more information about creating and publishing ContentMaster services, see Getting Started with ContentMaster and ContentMaster Studio User's Guide.

Chapter 1: Working with the Unstructured Data Transformation

Configuring an Unstructured Data Transformation

When you create an Unstructured Data transformation, you select a parser or serializer to parse the source data. The parser or serializer you choose depends on the type of source data you want to read and the type of target data you want to load. For example, if you want to read data from Excel and convert the data to XML, select Excel2XML as the parser. You also define the type of input and output the transformation uses. You can select one of the following input and output types:

File. Select File when you want to pass the full path of the file that contains the source or target data. Buffer. Select Buffer when you want to read data from the source and pass it to the Unstructured Data transformation. Or, select Buffer when you want pass data from the Unstructured Data transformation to the target.

For example, you want to read customer name and address data from a Excel file and create an XML file that contains this data. You can create a Unstructured Data transformation with the input as buffer and the output as file. The Integration Service reads the data from the Excel file. The Unstructured Data transformation parses the data and sends the data to an XML file. The Integration Service then writes the XML file to the target. When you select File as the output type, the PowerCenter Designer creates the Unstructured Data transformation with two input ports. When you select Buffer as the output type, the PowerCenter Designer creates the Unstructured Data transformation with one input port. An Unstructured Data transformation always contains one output port. You cannot change the output type after you create the transformation. For more information about editing the Unstructured Data transformation, see Editing an Unstructured Data Transformation on page 9. Figure 1-1 shows an Unstructured Data transformation with File output type and another with Buffer output type:
Figure 1-1. Unstructured Data Transformation Examples

Upgrading an Unstructured Data Transformation

When you upgrade from PowerCenter 7.x, the input and output type for Unstructured Data transformations is Buffer. You can edit the transformation to change the input type to File.

Configuring an Unstructured Data Transformation

Creating an Unstructured Data Transformation

You create an Unstructured Data transformation in the PowerCenter Designer.
To create an Unstructured Data transformation: 1. 2. 3. 4.

In the Mapping Designer or Transformation Developer, click Transformation > Create. Select Unstructured Data Transformation as the transformation type. Enter a name for the transformation. Click Create. The UDO Transformation dialog box appears.

5.

Enter the following information:

Property Parser Name Required/ Optional Required Description Name of the ContentMaster parser or serializer you want to use. All available parsers and serializers appear in the list. The parser and serializers must be published on the same machine as the PowerCenter Client to appear in this list. Type of input data. Select one of the following types: - Buffer - File Default is Buffer. Type of output data. Select one of the following types: - Buffer - File Default is Buffer. You cannot change the output type after you create the transformation.

Editing an Unstructured Data Transformation

You can edit an Unstructured Data transformation to change the parser name and input type. You can also edit the name, datatype, and precision of the transformation ports.
To edit an Unstructured Data transformation: 1. 2.

Double-click the title bar of the transformation. On the Ports tab, optionally edit the name, datatype, and precision of the input and output ports. Datatype must be String or Binary.

3.

On the Metadata Extensions tab, optionally edit the following properties:

Property Input Type Transformation Name Description Enter File or Buffer as the input type. Enter a new parser or serializer. The parser or serializer you enter must be published on the same machine as the PowerCenter Client.

The following example shows the Metadata Extensions tab for the Unstructured Data transformation:

Click OK.

Configuring an Unstructured Data Transformation

Configuring a Mapping with an Unstructured Data Transformation

If an Unstructured Data transformation in a mapping uses the File output type, you must link the Output Filename port in the UDOInput group to a downstream transformation. Otherwise, the mapping is invalid.

Configuring and Running a PowerCenter Workflow

In the Workflow Manager, configure and run a workflow that uses the mapping. During the workflow, the Unstructured Data transformation activates ContentMaster Engine, which runs the ContentMaster service on the input data. The service passes its output back to the Integration Service. If the Unstructured Data transformation uses File as the output type, the Integration Service writes an output filename to the target for each successful row. Otherwise, the Integration Service writes a NULL value to the target and returns a row error.
