Powercenter to IICS Migration

Jaiganesh Natarajan Jan 12, 2021 11:46 PM

Hi,

I am going to work on a new project where we have to migrate the jobs from PC to IICS. In order to move forward with this, I would like to get inputs from anybody on the below.

1. What are the pre-requisites to this migration?

2. What are the pros and cons?

3. What are the different approaches to do this migration?

4. Best practices to be followed during the migration.

Any inputs is welcome.

Please let me know if there is any documentation which will aid this implementation?

Thanks in advance.

I just want to level set everything. There is no way for you to migrate PC jobs to IICS. It would have to be a manual conversion of the jobs. If that is what you plan on doing then I can provide some input to your questions.

Thanks,
Scott

Please note: The online guide references a service that was EOL last year. That service even when available was only available to customers when the engaged Informatica or a partner to execute the utility on their behalf. The PC to Cloud tool was never available to customers directly.

Hi Scott,

just to make sure I understand this correctly: Informatica no longer offers any automated way of converting PowerCenter contents to ICS / IICS?

Thanks and regards,
Nico

Informatica does offer a automated solution. It is a new utility released last year in place of the PC to Cloud tool that you find references online.

The new tool is an enhanced offering with better and new features to migrate the PC code better. Right now Informatica directly is the only way to access it. We are enabling the big SI partners like Accenture and Deloitte to use the product in the future.

Any customer who is interested in moving from PC to Cloud should contact the sales rep and they will schedule a meeting with the Informatica team that handles this new product.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

thanks a ton for the explanation, that clarifies a lot.
As I'm working for a small partner company (<100 employees), I fear that we might not get the chance to become one of those partners who may use the new tool. Whom would I have to contact in order to talk them into accepting us as a partner for this tool? At least I want to try.

Thanks and regards,
Nico

I would reach out to the partner rep for your company. They would be the first stop that I can think of.

thanks,
Scott

HI Scott and everyone,

First of all thanks for all your response.

Scott, I understand the PC to Cloud conversion is no longer available and it has got its replacement. May I know what is the name of the new tool and if you can provide any document which gives an insight about its features, it will be helpful for me to take it to my leadership before reaching out to Partner Sales Rep.

There is no name for the new tool. It is part of what Informatica calls the Tiger team which deals exclusively with customers migrating from PwC to CDI. To get any info you have to reach out to your sales rep.

Thanks,
Scott
