Informatica Strange Problems

Some time we encounter strange problem while working with informatica.I would like to highlight some problem  which no way seems to be logical

Error : Informatica Debugger: Invalid session can not be debugged .Select a valid session instance to use

 

Problem : You are trying to run your mapping in debug mode by selecting valid session but you are getting below error even though your session is valid.

Solution :

1)      Copy your mapping Suppose M1 as M1_Debug

2)      Make your session as reusable

3)      Making your Initial Mapping M1 as invalid by someway

4)      Now refresh your session it will ask for new mapping then select M1_debug

5)      Revalidate your session

6)      Try to run your mapping(M1_debug) using second option use existing reusable instance for mapping

Now you should be able to run your mapping in debugger mode

Though it not a 100% correct method but it worked in my case but it is worth trying

 If you hit same issue but are not able to resolve please email to support@itnirvanas.com

Error : CMN_1892 Error: Data for Lookup [] fetched from the file [] is not sorted on the condition ports

Problem : You are suddenly started getting this error though you are not using lookup with sorted ports. You also tried all the things like using sorted file etc.

Solution : For us suddenly file size increased almost 10 times and we started getting this error .We tried all the thing but it did not work.

In the end we increased Lookup Data Cache size and Lookup Index Cache size and it started working fine.

Though it not a 100% correct method but it worked in my case but it is worth trying

 If you hit same issue but are not able to resolve please email to support@itnirvanas.com

Please not both of these issues we encountered on Informatica 7.1.1
