Step 1. Export objects from PowerCenter
PC to Cloud Conversion can read PowerCenter workflow and folder XML files. Export workflows and folders from the PowerCenter Repository Manager or the pmrep command line program. If you have a repository backup, restore the backup in PowerCenter and then export the workflows or folders to XML files.
Use the following methods to create the export XML files:
- •In the Repository Manager, open a folder in the Navigator, select one or more workflows, and export the workflows.
- •In the Repository Manager, create an object query that lists folder contents and exports the objects in the folder.
- •In the Repository Manager, create an object query to find workflows within a folder or across folders and export the workflows.
- •Use the pmrep objectExport command to export a folder.
- •Use the pmrep executeQuery and objectExport commands to create an object query and export the query results.
For more information about exporting objects and creating object queries in the Repository Manager, see the PowerCenter Repository Guide. For more information about pmrep commands, see the Informatica Command Reference.
Optionally, you can export objects from the Model repository and PC to Cloud Conversion can read the exported XML files from the Model repository. For more information on exporting objects from the Model repository, see the Exporting Objects topic in the Developer Tool Guide.
