Step 1. Create a reference data set

Create a reference data set, and configure its general properties and status. You can specify internal ID and alias for a reference data set.

Effective in the April 2025 release, the ability to specify a unique internal ID and alias for a reference data set is available for preview.

Preview functionality is supported for evaluation purposes but is unwarranted and is not supported in production environments or any environment that you plan to push to production. Informatica intends to include the preview functionality in an upcoming release for production use, but might choose not to in accordance with changing market or technical circumstances. For more information, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
