Using Informatica With Apache Ignite

Overview

Informatica is a cloud data management and data integration tool. You can connect Informatica to Ignite through the ODBC driver.

Connecting from Informatica PowerCenter Designer

You need to install the 32-bit Ignite OBDC driver to connect an Ignite cluster with the Power Center Designer. Use the following links to build and install the driver:

Then do the following:

  1. Select the Sources or Targets menu and choose Import from Database…​ to import tables from Ignite.

  2. Connect to the cluster by choosing Apache Ignite DSN as the ODBC data source.

Installing Ignite ODBC on an Informatica Service Node

Refer to the Building on Linux and Installing on Linux instructions to install the Ignite ODBC on an Ignite service node.

Informatica uses configuration files referenced by the $ODBCINI and $ODBCISTINI environment variables (Configure the UNIX environment for ODBC). Configure the Ignite ODBC driver and create a new DSN as shown below:

[ApacheIgnite]
Driver      = /usr/local/lib/libignite-odbc.so
Description = Apache Ignite ODBC
Address = 192.168.0.105
User = ignite
Password = ignite
Schema = PUBLIC
[ApacheIgnite]
Driver  = /usr/local/lib/libignite-odbc.so

To check the ODBC connection, use the ssgodbc.linux64 utility included in the Informatica deployment, as show below:

<INFORMATICA_HOME>/tools/debugtools/ssgodbc/linux64/ssgodbc.linux64 -d ApacheIgnite -u ignite -p ignite -v

If the unixODBC or Ignite ODBC libraries are not installed in the default directory - /usr/local/lib, add them to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then check the connection, like so:

UNIXODBC_LIB=/opt/unixodbc/lib/
IGNITE_ODBC_LIB=/opt/igniteodbc/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<UNIXODBC_LIB>:<IGNITE_ODBC_LIB>

<INFORMATICA_HOME>/tools/debugtools/ssgodbc/linux64/ssgodbc.linux64 -d ApacheIgnite -u ignite -p ignite -v

Configuring Relation Connection

Choose Connections > Relational.. to show the Relational Connection Browser.

Select the ODBC type and create a new connection.

Installing Ignite ODBC on Suse 11.4

Follow the steps below to build and install Ignite with the Ignite ODBC driver on Suse 11.4:

  1. Add repositories - oss, non-oss, openSUSE_Factory, devel_gcc

    sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/ oss
    sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/non-oss/ non-oss

    sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/gcc/SLE-11/  devel_gcc
  2. Install automake and autoconf

    sudo zypper install autoconf automake
  3. Install libtool

    sudo zypper install libtool-2.4.6-7.1.x86_64
