Informatica is an ETL tool. If you go to informatica.com you can access the
online support if you have an account. We use it to extract financial
infomation out of SAP for our datawarehouse. There is online help within
the application. I assume you have the client part installed on your
desktop? There are many pieces to informatica and while it isn't rocket
science to use it would be rather difficult to describe how exactly do a
whole slew of things. They do have a 3 or 4 day class and will even do it
on site.
