informatica high-level jargons: long learning curve, low mktVal

Now I think this dnlg is low-value, non-portable. A lot of the training material is written for developer mind-share.

(The type of dnlg is type 1 i.e. jargon.) When you enter a new domain, pick a new technology, you have to go through this learning curve !

— The learning notes I took in 200807:

a workflow consists of tasks.

a mapping includes sources, targers and … transformations!

many transformations – 1 mapping – 1 workflow – many tasks

A major topic is the different TYPES of transformations
– filter
– lookup
– aggregator
– sorter

a Repository is a database holding the metadata
