You can use an automatic subscription, a custom subscription, or a modular subscription to publish data. The subscription type you choose is based on the organization requirements and the complexity of the business logic that you want to apply when publishing the data.
Automatic Subscriptions
With automatic subscriptions you can consume data into a relational database target or a flat file target, or over a REST API. If required,
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
generates the automatic mapping based on details that you provide when you create the subscription.
You can use the following automatic subscription types to subscribe to data with
Data Integration Hub
:
Automatic database subscription. A subscription with an automatic mapping and a relational database target.
Automatic file subscription. A subscription with an automatic mapping and a flat file target.
Automatic pass-through file subscription. A subscription with an automatic mapping and a pass-through file target.
Automatic data-driven subscription. A subscription that consumes data over a REST API when the data is ready, not based on a defined schedule.
Custom Subscriptions
With custom subscriptions you can consume data into any type of target that PowerCenter, Data Engineering Integration, Data Engineering Streaming, Data Quality, and
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
support.
You can use the following custom subscription types to subscribe to data with
Data Integration Hub
:
Custom batch subscription. A subscription that uses a
Data Integration Hub
batch workflow. A batch workflow can be based on a PowerCenter batch workflow, a Data Engineering Integration mapping or workflow, or a Data Quality mapping or workflow.
Custom cloud subscription. A subscription with an
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
task and a cloud target.
Modular Subscription
A subscription with an
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
mapping and a cloud target. With a modular cloud subscription you can consume data into any cloud target that
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
supports.
Data Integration Hub
generates the subscription mapping based on details that you provide when you create the subscription, including the parameters values that you enter into the template that you select for subscription processing.
