11) Default tracing level in Java transformation is a)Normalb) Verbose datac) Initializationd) Terse

Informatica 8.1.1 also supports the same FOUR tracing levels which were supported in earlier versions.

They are - Normal Terse Verbose Initialization Verbose Data

Tracing level can be configured for each individual transformation.

Normal - tracing level is the default one which logs the logs initialization and status information, errors encountered and skipped rows due to transformation row errors. Summarizes session results, but not at the level of individual rows.

Terse - logs the initialization information and error messages and notification of rejected data.Note - Terse is used to debug a transformation/Mapping that is not behaving as it was expected.

Verbose Initialization – This tracing level adds additional initialization details, names of index and data files used, and detailed transformation statistics to the “Normal†level.�

Verbose data – In Addition to the Verbose Initialization, logs each row that passes into the mapping.

Also notes where the Integration Service truncates string data to fit the precision of a column and provides detailed transformation statistics.

From all above, verbose data slow downs the performance of the data load as it writes log for every row data.
