    Version 4 of the PowerCenter RA solution was released last week. Currently, the only way to view the documentation is to log in to downloads.automic.com, download a ZIP file (RA.Informatica_Documentation_Guides_4_0_0+build.1.zip), and extract it.

    It would be helpful if all product documentation (and release notes) were available on docs.automic.com. Thanks in advance.

    And speaking of the RA Informatica documentation, someone should review the release notes.

    What's New: Setting the Maximum WorkFlow Log Fetching Retries

    In a busy system, sometimes the WorkFlow log is not immediately available for the Informatica
    agent to fetch. The Maximum WorkFlow Log Fetching Retries option in the Informatica agent
    definition allows you to specify the number of retries to get the Workflow log. The default value is 6.

    If the Workflow log still cannot be fetched after the maximum specified retries, the WorkFlow job
    will fail, even though the WorkFlow is running normally on the Informatica server. The reason for this
    is that the WorkFlow log is used to parse the status of individual Sessions/Tasks to generate the
    report and that is part of the Informatica job run.

    Make sure the Informatica server has enough resources to handle the number of concurrently
    running WorkFlows you need to run.

    What's New: Setting to Disable Synchronized WorkFlow Job Launching

    By default, WorkFlow jobs are launched sequentially. This is to reduce the contention of the job
    launching on the Informatica server for better overall job performance. If the Disable Synchronized
    WorkFlow Job Launching option in the Informatica agent is checked, the agent will not
    synchronize the job launch.

    When there are a large number of concurrent WorkFlow runs or the Informatica server is heavily
    used, jobs may run slower and WorkFlow log fetching may also be slower. In this case, you may
    want to specify fewer retries to fetch the WorkFlow log.
    The last paragraph (my italics) probably belongs to the previous section about the Maximum WorkFlow Log Fetching Retries option.
