So you are another fresher who dived into the IT industry and is determined to learn the technology after getting into a development project.Every 2nd fresher's feels himself cheated after landing in a Production-Support profile.I was no exception.I was really dissapointed to have been trained in .NET/SQL Server and then landing in a technology called Informatica that too a production support profile. Worse, we were not working on a datawarehouse (Which I realized when I had started appearing for interviews)
Do not be afraid as there is always something to cheer about. I started off with simple monitoring, understanding the jobs at workflow/monitor level. Then trying to decipher which code at session level maps to what. We had extensive usage of shell scripts too in our projects. I took time and analyzed them.
The book: UNIX Shell programming by Yashwant Kanetkar was very handy in helping me understand and decipher the power of shell scripting in Informatica.It will help you overcome your fear of the black linux screen.
I believe developing is not the most important thing.For a 2year professional the follwing profile would be great
1. Exposure to all Informatica tools
2. Unix Shell scripting
3. SQL/PL-SQL
4. Try getting some hands on the reporting tool in your project along with the ETL tool.
