Use a PowerCenter target service to stream data to Informatica PowerCenter. To create a PowerCenter target service, use the PowerCenter target service type. When you add a PowerCenter target service to a data flow,
EDS
generates a value for a PowerCenter target service property called
Receiver Type ID
. EDS also generates a value for a link property called
Transport Topic
. Add the PowerCenter target service to the data flow, get the values of those properties, and then configure PowerCenter.
You can configure the following property for the PowerCenter target service type:
Entity Name
Name of the PowerCenter target service. Maximum length is 32 characters.
Configuring PowerCenter
The PowerCenter target service is the data source for PowerCenter. The PowerCenter target service consumes the messages that a source service publishes and forwards the messages to PowerCenter. To consume the messages that a source service publishes, PowerCenter requires Informatica PowerExchange for Ultra Messaging. Install PowerExchange for Ultra Messaging and create the configuration files that it requires to read and write messages. For information about installing PowerExchange for Ultra Messaging, see
Informatica PowerExchange for Ultra Messaging User Guide for PowerCenter
.
After you create the configuration files, perform the following tasks:
Open the Ultra Messaging source and target configuration file.
In the receiver type options section of the configuration file, specify the receiver type ID that
EDS
assigned to the PowerCenter target service.
The following lines from an Ultra Messaging source and target configuration file show how to specify the receiver type ID:
