Chapter 1
May 2024
The following topic provides information about the new feature in the May 2024 release of Informatica
Intelligent Cloud Services℠ Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC).
Important notices
Important Information for PowerExchange Users
If you are an existing CDI-PC user that uses PowerExchange and you do not have the Cloud Allowed = Y
option set for your PowerExchange Listener license keys, you must update your PowerExchange Listener
license keys and ensure that they have the Cloud Allowed = Y option set before you upgrade or migrate to
CDI-PC 2024.04.M or later.
To obtain a license key, go the Informatica Network at https://network.informatica.com and click Support >
My Cases. Then create a new case of type=Product Download & License Request to request a key that
includes all current options + Cloud option.
The message appears each time you log in unless you choose to be reminded after 10 days. You can't
disable the reminder if the update is due in 30 days or less. The pop-up continues to appear until all domains
in the organization are updated.
If you are assigned a Domain Management role, you will also receive an email notification with the details of
the mandatory update.
Assessment enhancement
Assessment is enhanced to reduce the number of manual assets and improve the scope of the asset
conversion.

Chapter 2
April 2024
The following topics provide information about important notices, new features, and changed behaviors in
the April 2024 release of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services℠ Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter
(CDI-PC).
Important notices
Update information
The April 2024 update to Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC) is a mandatory update and must
be applied within 90 days of release. Domains that you don't update within 90 days are marked as obsolete
and the domain status appears offline in IDMC. You can't run jobs or perform tasks on obsolete domains.
You can apply the update on CDI-PC domains of any version. Although the domain shuts down during the
update, there are no manual tasks needed. The update performs all tasks including binary download,
shutdown of the domain before, and restart of services after the update.
If you previously set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or PATH) and PWX_HOME environment variables but did not set
the PWX_CONFIG environment variable, copy your existing dbmover.cfg file to the /usr/config/pwx
directory, which is the default configuration directory.
Alternatively, if you want to store your dbmover.cfg configuration file in a custom location, you can set the
PWX_CONFIG environment variable or the PWX_CONFIG parameter in the overrides.cfg file to point to that
location. For more information about this post-installation step, see the CDI-PC Installation Guide.

New features and enhancements
Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC) includes the following new features in this release:
You can configure Kerberos authentication in a CDI-PC domain when you install the CDI-PC services, or you
can configure Kerberos authentication after you install the services.
For information about configuring Kerberos authentication while creating a CDI-PC domain, see Installation
Guide.
When the service installation process fails, you can resume from the previous service configuration and
recover the last entered details for that service installation.
For information about resuming the install process, see Installation Guide.
For information about the events and status changes that generate alerts and notifications, see Getting
Started.
IPU metering
You can view metering information for tasks that you perform in your organization and sub-organizations on
the Metering page in Administrator.
You can view and download metering consumption data from the Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter
metering page. The metering page contains details including the date when the task was performed,
organization details, environment details, IPU usage, and the number of IPUs consumed.
Note: Wait for at least 24 hours after the April Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services update before you
download detailed metering reports.
For information about metering, see Organization Administration in the Administrator help.
The message appears 24 hours after the release becomes available. It appears each time you log in unless
you choose to be reminded after 10 days. You can't choose this if the update is due in 30 days or less. The
pop-up continues to appear until all domains in the organization are updated.
Asset logs
The CDI-PC service generates logs for tasks performed on the service page. You can access the logs and log
history from the Administrator service.
For information about how to view asset logs, see Organization Administration and REST API Reference in the
Administrator help.

Chapter 6
August 2023
The following topics provide information about new services in the August 2023 release of Informatica
Intelligent Cloud Services℠.
With CDI-PC, you can create an on-premises domain that connects to a domain management service in
Informatica cloud.
Store your data and run sessions and workflows within your on-premises domain and leverage the
advantages of domain management that the Informatica cloud provides. You can create a CDI-PC domain or
migrate your Informatica domain to CDI-PC.
Monitor the status of nodes and services of your registered domains. You can view detailed domain
information and keep the domains up-to-date with flexible and automated update options.
For more information about CDI-PC, see the Getting Started with Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter help.
Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC) offers a solution to modernize your legacy PowerCenter
assets by seamlessly migrating them to the cloud. The automated and self-service solution minimizes the
risks associated with manual migration of your assets and accelerates time to value from the migration
process. When you migrate your assets, CDI-PC converts the PowerCenter mappings, mapplets, sessions,
and workflows to Data Integration mappings, mapplets, mapping tasks, and taskflows.
Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC) provides you the following capabilities to migrate your
PowerCenter assets to the cloud:
Repository assessment
View and assess the repositories available in the registered CDI-PC domains to evaluate the feasibility of
conversion of the PowerCenter assets to the cloud.
14
Asset conversion
Convert the PowerCenter assets to matching Cloud Data Integration assets. As part of the conversion,
you can repoint the assets to another endpoint after migrating the assets to the cloud.
Job monitoring
Monitor the assessment and conversion jobs to track the progress of the jobs. You can download
reports and log files to understand the results and troubleshoot possible issues.
For more information about PC2CDI Modernization Service, see the PowerCenter Modernization help.
• Create test cases to test the accuracy and validity of migrated mappings by comparing their output to the
output of the original mappings. With Data Validation, you can configure options related to bad record
limit, string validation, data sampling level, email notifications, schedule, and logging level. You can also
use the aggregation functions to compare data.
• Create test suites to generate reports of multiple test cases simultaneously.
• Generate reports to learn if the data you compare matches. View the results to determine what data is
unmatched and what changes you might need to make to the migrated mapping.
Supported Connections
You can use the following connections in Data Validation:
• Amazon Redshift
• Databricks Delta
• Flat file
• Google BigQuery
• Microsoft Azure Synapse SQL
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Netezza
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• Snowflake Data Cloud
• Teradata
For more information about Data Validation, see the Data Validation help.
