AUDIT to track view access

We would like to get a mechanism to AUDIT the access of views. We already use EXECUTE category but at table level. We do not use EXECUTE category at database level because it could impact the database performance. We tested all AUDIT categories ti...

Q Capture/Db2 LUW: Replicate DROP COLUMN-operations

If the source table of an active subscription is altered by a DROP COLUMN operation, there is high risk of continuous data corruption on that table due to incorrect reading of Db2's transaction log entries from that time on. The current workaround...

Requesting Q-Replication capability from Non-Temporal to Temporal Table

This RFE/Idea is to request Q-Replication capability from Non-Temporal source to Temporal Table target. The existing Q-Replication only supports from Temporal to Temporal tables. For reporting within FTM (Financial Transaction Manager), there is a...

We have a use case wherein we intend to link a Leaf Level Node in Manta to a Higher Level Node considering the functionality of process flow among the applications from different technologies. Manta may already have an understanding of IFPC hierar...

Data lineage for a Manta IFPC scanner should provide a visual representation for mappings when viewing lineage from Manta Flow Viewer GUI

Why is it useful? Data lineage generated from IFPC scanner is expected to align with Informatica data flow represented by a mapping used in a informatica workflow. Logically thinking Manta data lineage would be validated by a informatica domain ex...

Request for re-try / reconnect mechanism

We'd like to request Replication to have re-try / reconnect mechanism even without MQ multiple instances. Because currently it doesn’t support MQ multiple instances, we can use SLB, but if it has no re-connect, we can do nothing.

Demarcate the kind of filesystem (shared vs local vs HDFS vs S3) and the kind of file (CSV, etc) when showing the lineage.

At my organization, the Informatica Power Center is used to process critical data elements (CDE) from different Applications relying on several technologies like Oracle, MSSQL, DB2 LUW, 2, Salesforce, Filesystem Db2 ZOS, Netezza. Data Governance S...
