There are multiple steps that you need to perform to modernize your PowerCenter and
Data Engineering Integration assets using
CDI-PC
.
Begin your modernization journey by registering your on-premise domains in IDMC to establish
communication between on-premise domain and cloud. Based on the modernization journey,
you can then create required configurations, assess repository, convert the assets to
the cloud, and update the metadata of the assets.
The following image shows the high-level steps you need to perform to modernize your
PowerCenter and Data Engineering Integration assets:
The modernization process involves the following steps:
Register domain
Before you start your modernization journey, you need to register your on-premise domains
in
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
. When you register a domain, you link the on-premise
domain with the cloud and establish communication between them. After you
register a domain, you can monitor the domain from the cloud, update the
domain, and modernize the assets that are available in the repositories of
the domain. For more information about registering a domain, see
Register a domain
.
Create repoint configuration
Create a repoint
configuration where you can define various endpoints to which you want to
repoint the assets. Use this configuration in assessment tasks to evaluate
the feasibility of repointing the assets to another endpoint. For more
information about creating a repoint configuration, see the
Creating a
Repoint Configuration
topic. In addition to the repoint
configuration, Informatica recommends that you copy the parameter files
generated from your PowerCenter environment to a shared location.
Assess repository
After you register a domain, you can view a list of repositories within the domain. Assess
the PowerCenter or Model repositories to evaluate the feasibility of
converting PowerCenter and Data Engineering Integration assets. Based on the
feasibility,
CDI-PC
categorizes
the assets into different categories. After you assess a repository, you can
view the folders and workflows within the repository. For more information
about assessment, see the
Repository Assessment
topic.
Download assessment output files
The assessment job generates a report that contains a breakdown of the assets along with the list of flags responsible for manual or partial conversion of the assets. For more information about the output files, see the
Assessment output files
topic.
Create connection map and conversion properties configurations
If you want to repoint your endpoint after migrating to the cloud, you need to create a
Connection Map configuration to map PowerCenter and Data Engineering
Integration connections with Data Integration connections. Additionally, you
can create a Conversion Properties configuration to override the default
conversion behavior.
Convert assets
Finally, from the repository that you assessed, select the workflows that you want to
convert and add them to a conversion task. Run the conversion task to
convert the PowerCenter or Data Engineering Integration assets to the Data
Integration assets. For more information about converting assets, see the
Asset Conversion
topic.
Update asset metadata
After you convert and migrate the PowerCenter or Data Engineering Integration assets to the
Data Integration assets, you can update the metadata of the assets using
bulk update tasks. Add the project and folder location of the assets to the
export metadata task and upload the updated metadata to the update metadata
task. Run the tasks to export the metadata and update the assets with new
metadata. For more information, see the
