Local repository in Informatica 9.1 - repository

Can anyone tell me how to create a local repository in Informatica 9.1?
is it possible to use a local folder as repository?
Thanks in advance

If you want to backup the informatica objects, you can export them in xml format and save them in your local folder. However you cannot directly develop mappings using a local folder, you need to setup a repository server.

How to access DI repository from a different machine

Can someone please suggest me how to centrally store DB connections and jobs in DI repository
I installed s/w on 2 machines. On one machine I have enabled the Kettle DI repository but when I try to access the same from the other m/c, I am not able to access
Can someone suggest me any good tutorial or video etc ?
Thanks
Repository connection definitions are stored in your .kettle file. This is by default in your user profile directory. To share the same definitions among a group of users on the same machine, move the kettle home directory to a shared location and set the KETTLE_HOME environment variable to reflect that location.
Then copy that .kettle file to all installations that need to share the repositories.

Distributing a hsqldb database for use

I have gone through the docs and I haven't been able to fully understand them.
My question :
For testing purpose we created a replica of a database in hsqldb and would want to use this as inprocess db for unit testing.
Is there a way that I can distribute the replica database so that people connect to this db.I have used the backup command and have the tar file.But how do I open a connection to the db which takes this backed up db... something on the lines of handing a .mdb file in case of Access to another user and asking him/her to use that.
Regards,
Chetan
You need to expand the backed up database using standard gzip / unzip tools, before you can connect to it.
The HSQLDB Jar can be used to extract the database files from the backup file. For example:
java -cp hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.lib.tar.DbBackup --extract tardir/backup.tar dbdir
In the example, the first file path is the backup file, and the second one, dbdir, is the directory path where the database files are expanded.

How to get a the remote file attributes through FTP using ConnectionKit

I need to get the file attributes of a remote file using the ConnectionKit framework.
What I am trying to do is compare the modification date of the file on the server and if it is newer than the local copy then download it. I've got the CKTransferRecord for the transfer but this only gives me the remote file path not that remote files attributes.
What is the best way to get the remote files attributes?
Thanks for your help!

Symfony 1.4 : How to generate .SQL from fixture files

I have my symfony project on my dev box machine and also on a hosted environment where i have only FTP and HTTP access (i have a phpmyadmin access to my prod DB). This hosted version is an alpha release that should be initialized with fixtures.
Problem is : to do that, i have to write/update .yml fixtures in local, insert them in local DB with the symfony task, go on my local PMA, generate a data export, go on prod PMA and import the data...
Is there any way to generate a .sql file from my local fixtures so that i can insert them directly through my prod PMA ?
Thanks
The easiest is probably for you to look at this website:
http://brentertainment.com/2010/02/15/run-a-symfony-task-from-your-model-or-action/
You may run tasks from the web, you might make it a bit smarter and allow to run tasks from the web. Also clearing the cache might be a useful thing to extend to your admin interface for example.
I think you can't "out of the box" in symfony.
BUT you may be able to use the Doctrine Profiler to log all the SQL requests done by the sfDoctrineDataLoadTask task class into a file.
Are you using the symfony doctrine:build --all command? When I do that, a schema.sql file is created within the data/sql directory.

Is is possible to do this with Subversion/SVN?

I'm using subversion to develop a website with a designer and I'm using a remote server to the Subversion database storage.
Now I need to make visible on the Apache(same machine that Subversion server) all the changes/commits that we make to the repository.
This is possible to do?
I have searched inside the repository files but nothing looks like the name of the files of the project(PHP Project).
Can someone give me a clue on how can I make visible the changes to the repository in a website? Is there a way to connect the changes that I do the the repository to the website?
Best Regards,
Assuming you can already browse the repository using HTTP, simply add something like Repos Style for a nice layout and folder/file history features.
You could shell out to svnadmin.
