Create Informatica Mappings From/To a JDBC Data Source for Authorize.Net

Informatica provides a powerful, elegant means of transporting and transforming your data. By utilizing the CData JDBC Driver for Authorize.Net, you are gaining access to a driver based on industry-proven standards that integrates seamlessly with Informatica's powerful data transportation and manipulation features. This tutorial shows how to transfer and browse Authorize.Net data in Informatica PowerCenter.

Deploy the Driver

To deploy the driver to the Informatica PowerCenter server, copy the CData JAR and .lic file, located in the lib subfolder in the installation directory, to the following folder: Informatica-installation-directory\services\shared\jars\thirdparty.

To work with Authorize.Net data in the Developer tool, you will need to copy the CData JAR and .lic file, located in the lib subfolder in the installation directory, into the following folders:

• Informatica-installation-directory\client\externaljdbcjars
• Informatica-installation-directory\externaljdbcjars

Create the JDBC Connection

Follow the steps below to connect from Informatica Developer:

1. In the Connection Explorer pane, right-click your domain and click Create a Connection.
2. In the New Database Connection wizard that is displayed, enter a name and Id for the connection and in the Type menu select JDBC.
3. In the JDBC Driver Class Name property, enter: cdata.jdbc.authorizenet.AuthorizeNetDriver
4. In the Connection String property, enter the JDBC URL, using the connection properties for Authorize.Net.

   You can obtain the necessary connection properties on the Security Settings -> General Settings page after logging into your Merchant Account.

   • UseSandbox: The Authorize.Net API to be used to process transactions. If you are using a production account, this property can be left blank. If you are using a developer test account, set this to 'TRUE'.
   • LoginID: The API login Id associated with your payment gateway account. This property is used to authenticate that you are authorized to submit website transactions. Note that this value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.
   • TransactionKey: The transaction key associated with your payment gateway account. This property is used to authenticate that you are authorized to submit website transactions.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Authorize.Net JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.authorizenet.jar

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   A typical connection string is below:

   jdbc:authorizenet:LoginId=MyLoginId;TransactionKey=MyTransactionKey;

Browse Authorize.Net Tables

After you have added the driver JAR to the classpath and created a JDBC connection, you can now access Authorize.Net entities in Informatica. Follow the steps below to connect to Authorize.Net and browse Authorize.Net tables:

1. Connect to your repository.
2. In the Connection Explorer, right-click the connection and click Connect.
3. Clear the Show Default Schema Only option.

You can now browse Authorize.Net tables in the Data Viewer: Right-click the node for the table and then click Open. On the Data Viewer view, click Run.

Create Authorize.Net Data Objects

Follow the steps below to add Authorize.Net tables to your project:

1. Select tables in Authorize.Net, then right-click a table in Authorize.Net, and click Add to Project.
2. In the resulting dialog, select the option to create a data object for each resource.
3. In the Select Location dialog, select your project.

   Create a Mapping

   Follow the steps below to add the Authorize.Net source to a mapping:

   1. In the Object Explorer, right-click your project and then click New -> Mapping.
   2. Expand the node for the Authorize.Net connection and then drag the data object for the table onto the editor.
   3. In the dialog that appears, select the Read option.

   Follow the steps below to map Authorize.Net columns to a flat file:

   1. In the Object Explorer, right-click your project and then click New -> Data Object.
   2. Select Flat File Data Object -> Create as Empty -> Fixed Width.
   3. In the properties for the Authorize.Net object, select the rows you want, right-click, and then click copy. Paste the rows into the flat file properties.
   4. Drag the flat file data object onto the mapping. In the dialog that appears, select the Write option.
   5. Click and drag to connect columns.

   To transfer Authorize.Net data, right-click in the workspace and then click Run Mapping.
