Before initiating the conversion of PowerCenter assets to the cloud, it is crucial to determine the feasibility of converting the assets within a PowerCenter repository. You can find out the conversion feasibility by assessing the PowerCenter repository. When you assess a repository,

CDI-PC

creates a backup of the PowerCenter repository, restores the backup in IDMC, and then runs the assessment. The assessment groups the assets into the following categories based on their conversion criteria:

Automated:
CDI-PC
can convert these assets automatically. The converted assets do not need any manual intervention in Cloud Data Integration after the conversion process.
Partial:
CDI-PC
can convert these assets to the cloud, however, you might need to do some manual tweaks on the converted Cloud Data Integration assets.
Manual: Assets classified as manual conversion might require redesign of the assets because there is no direct support available for these assets in cloud. These assets cannot be migrated and needs to be created manually created on the Cloud Data Integration side.

The assessment process also generates a comprehensive report detailing the reasons behind assets being categorized as partial or manual.
