Informatica bridge for Linux version

Customer would like to use CP4D to view lineage for Informatica BDM. We provide a bridge solution on windows. But customer doesn’t allow windows in production environment. and learnt only windows version is a formal release in the future. currently, we find a temporary Linux version, but been told it was for POC purpose only in the past and will be not available anymore onward (after CP4D v3.0.1)

Impact to customer:

There will be a big issue (Lineage function lost) once upgrading CP4D to fix some product issues.



Pls consider provide Informatica Bridge on Linux/ocp version. Many big customer in China has the similar situation (no windows server allowed in production environment)

    Going forward, all automated lineage in CPD will require the MANTA add-on. MANTA currently does not have a scanner for Informatica BDM but does support Informatica PowerCenter. We will raise the request of support for BDM to MANTA
