Informatica allows you to execute an initiation block at the beginning of an ETL process. We've used that to set up session specific tracing, module/actions, and session specific parameters. No reason you couldn't use that pre-initiation block area to manually set Module/Action with the name of the map executing.

I was able to monitor the progress of the ETL by querying this table. The currently running step would be one which had a null stop time. HTH, Peter Schauss -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott L McMillan Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 6:40 PM To: oracle-l Subject: EXT :Informatica Workflow name tracking via MODULE/ACTION fields Hi, Our Oracle DBA Team is researching options to achieve the below goal - How can the Informatica ETL application be setup so that the ETL "WorkFlow name" & ETL "Session name" pass into the Oracle database 'MODULE' field & 'ACTION' field when connecting to the target DB, for tracking purposes in views like V$SESSION? NOTE: Our 'custom' applications use the following embedded code for the same purpose: exec dbms_application_info.set_module('xxx','xxxx'); We previously created an "Informatica Tech Support" SR ticket on this topic, but did not get a solution.
