Informatica Designer (9.6.1.) Autolink wildcard


Does anyone know if there is a wildcard for prefix/suffix in the Autolink feature?

Autolink: By Name - More - Enter prefix

eg.

Expression port name: abc_D1001_This1

Target port name: This1

Constant is the part: abc_Dxxxx_

Where I'd like to wildcard the x characters. I've tried * and %.


Solution

  • I'm afraid it's not possible. But out of curiosity: the wildcard matches multiple characters, right? So - possibly - it could match multiple ports. Which one should be chosen and linked to target port? How do you think this should work?
