I would like to see something alongs the lines of a Data Preview, like Informatica 9 has implemented.

Can you describe it please, for those of us who've never seen Informatica 9? How is that different from 'View Data'?

Well, I suppose I was really leaning towards was mid-stream profiling. This is where you can debug your jobs mid-stream, rather than running the complete job and seeing what happened. I haven't actually got my hands on this yet, but I've been to a presentation and I was interested. I am hoping to get my hands on it soon.

Thanks. I'm actually working at an 8.6 Informatica site this year and they're allegedly scheduled to upgrade to 9.x in a month or two. Perhaps I'll get to see it in action. :wink:

Well if you do, please let me know! I'd love to hear how it operates (if i don't get my hands on it first!)

Server jobs already have the interactive debugger. An interactive debugger is also on the roadmap for parallel jobs, possibly as soon as the next-to-be-released version.

There are interesting questions to be resolved debugging processes that may be spread across multiple machines.
