Migrating a connector from previous versions using the Data Integration REST API

Migrating a connector from previous versions using the Data Integration REST API

Planning the connection migration

Planning the connection migration

You must plan your migration before you can start the migration programmatically.

Prerequisites

Complete the following prerequisites before you start the migration:
  • You must have the licenses to import, export, create, and delete projects.
  • You need the license for the latest version of the connector that you plan to migrate to.
  • To use the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services REST API, you need a valid Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services login and an understanding of the REST API guidelines.
  • Ensure that metering is enabled for the
    Total Number of Projects
    and
    Total Number of Folders
    for the platform service type under
    License Metrics
    on the
    Metering
    tab in the Administrator service.
  • You need to install a REST client tool such as Postman.

Set up the migration environment

Set up the migration environment in Cloud Data Integration:
  • Keep the connector and dependent assets ready for migration in your organization.
  • Create the current version of the connection for the migration and ensure that the test connection runs successfully. During the migration, this connection replaces the older connection in the referenced assets.
  • Ensure that the current version of the connection along with the referenced assets and the old version of the connection are in the same organization.
The next thing we'll need to do is log in to the organization using the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services REST API and begin the migration.
