Introducing the Tidal Automation Adapter for Informatica PowerCenter
The Tidal Automation Adapter for Informatica PowerCenter lets you add advanced scheduling features to your setup and combine multiple schedulers into one centralized console. Working with Tidal Automation, the adapter makes it easy to define, launch, and monitor workflows in Informatica PowerCenter, improving automation and integrating smoothly into an enterprise-wide scheduling system.
The adapter integrates with Informatica PowerCenter version 10.5 and above using SOAP requests ensuring efficient communication and management of workflows between the adapter and Informatica PowerCenter. This integration facilitates the transfer of data between the adapter and Informatica PowerCenter.
To use this adapter, start by setting up connections to your Informatica PowerCenter environments. Then, create Informatica PowerCenter jobs just like you would with other jobs. With the Informatica PowerCenter adapter, you can easily choose folders or workflows, as well as monitor the job’s execution in real-time from the Job Activity pane.
Once the job is completed, the adapter updates the Job Activity pane with the final status, which helps manage any dependent jobs, along with run details. Additionally, the adapter allows users to cancel, abort, or rerun workflows directly from Tidal Automation, offering much more control over the environment compared to other standalone scheduling tools.
Note: The recover function works only for workflows without concurrent execution.
Note: Concurrent execution of workflows is not supported. Please run one workflow at a time.
