The following sample configuration files are provided:

You can copy the sample configuration files to the

pwxcdcpub_root_installation

/instance

X

/config

subdirectory and then customize the copies of the files. The files contain comments that describe each property. The PowerExchange CDC Publisher will read only the configuration files that are in the config subdirectory.

For PowerExchange CDC Publisher to recognize a file as a configuration file, the file must have the file name extension

.cfg

. Also, the file content must begin with

# Configuration

on the first or second line in the file.

You can include all configuration properties in one file or create alternative subsets of properties in multiple configuration files. Informatica recommends that you use multiple configuration files that logically group the properties, similar to the sample configuration files. You can then copy and re-use the properties that do not change across multiple instances and migration paths, and customize only the properties that need to change because of changes to your CDC Publisher environment. For example, you might want to customize the PowerExchange-related extraction properties and Kafka target properties when migrating PowerExchange CDC Publisher from a test environment to a production environment but retain the Avro-related properties.
