Using the REST API or infacmd

To decide whether to use the Data Integration Service REST API or the infacmd command line programs to automate integration and delivery operations, assess the requirements of your organization.

The REST API and infacmd have the following differences:

You can achieve more use cases with infacmd compared to REST API. For example, you can use an infacmd command to backup applications.

To use infacmd, you have to install Informatica services or the infacmd utilities. In contrast, the REST API does not have any setup requirements and you can run the REST API in environments that do not have Informatica services installed on the client machine.

For information about the Data Integration Service REST API, see the

Informatica Application Service Guide

For information about the infacmd command line programs, see the
