New Asset dialog box

Use the
New Asset
 dialog box to create new configuration files, assessment tasks, workflow conversion tasks, or parameter file conversion tasks.
The following image shows the different tasks or configurations that you can create using the
New Asset
 dialog box:
The New Asset dialog box shows all the available options.

Configuration

A configuration is a collection of parameters that you can use in conversion tasks to override the default conversion behavior, map PowerCenter connections to IDMC connections in conversion tasks, or evaluate the feasibility of repointing in assessment tasks.
You can create and manage configurations for assessment and conversion tasks.
The following image shows the available configuration options:
The New Asset Configuration page shows all the available configuration options - Conversion Properties, Connection Map, and Repoint Configuration.
You can create the following configurations:
  • Conversion Properties. Use this configuration in conversion tasks to override the default conversion behavior.
  • Connection Map. Use this configuration in conversion tasks to map the PowerCenter connections to IDMC connections.
  • Repoint Configuration. Use this configuration in assessment tasks to evaluate the feasibility of repointing the assets to another endpoint.

Assessment Task

Create a new assessment task to assess a PowerCenter repository that includes reviewing the asset details within the repository and their conversion feasibility to the cloud environment.
The following image shows the
New Assessment Task
 page:
The new assessment task page to assess repositories.

Workflow Conversion Task

After you complete the assessment of a repository, you can start the conversion process for the workflows in the repository. You can create a conversion task to specify the workflows that you want to convert to Cloud Data Integration. You can only convert the workflows that have their assessment results as automated or partial. Workflows that have assessment results as manual require you to manually convert the workflows after the completion of the assessment.
The following image shows the
New Workflow Conversion Task
 page:
The workflow conversion task page specifies the workflows that you want to convert to Cloud Data Integration.

Parameter File Conversion Task

You can create a parameter file conversion task to convert PowerCenter parameter files to Cloud Data Integration parameter files.
The following image shows the
New Workflow Conversion Task
 page:
Parameter file conversion task to convert PowerCenter parameter files to Cloud Data Integration files.

Bulk Update Task

After you convert and migrate the PowerCenter assets to the Cloud Data Integration assets, you can create bulk update tasks to update the metadata of the assets. You can create export metadata tasks to export the existing metadata of the assets as Excel template files. After you update the Excel template files with new metadata, you can create update metadata tasks to update the metadata of the assets.
The following image shows the
New Bulk Update Task
 page:
