I'm using the SFK connector and do not see a Configure button next to Update Override.

Informatica Documentation Team - February 28, 2024

Hi Gregory Young,

Thanks for reaching out! We've verified with our development team that you can't configure a target update override for a Salesforce target. You can enter a target update override for relational and ODBC connections. (See the topic Target update override.) If you have questions about whether you can enter a target update override for a particular target type, please see the help for the appropriate connector.

Devi Palanisamy - March 28, 2024

Not seeing configure button for postgresql target table. Is updateoverride not supported for postgresql target?.

Informatica Documentation Team - March 29, 2024

Hi Devi Palanisamy,

Thanks for reaching out! We're working to address your comments and will get back to you.

Informatica Documentation Team - April 09, 2024

Hi again Hi Devi Palanisamy,

Our QA team is working on your query. We'll get back to you shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Informatica Documentation Team - April 25, 2024

Hi Devi Palanisamy,

We've received confirmation from our R&D team that the Configure button is not available for certain relational connectors such as PostgreSQL, DB2Loader, SAP IQ, and JDBC V2. So you can't generate the target update statement for these target types. For PostgreSQL, you can enter a target update statement in the Override Target Query box.

We'll update the documentation in the next major release to clarify this.
