The October 2025 release includes the following important notice:
Upcoming wizard change
Effective in the October 2025 release, the new task configuration wizard for application ingestion and database tasks and database ingestion and replication tasks is available to all organizations. Also, the Application Ingestion and Replication and Database Ingestion and Replication documentation now covers using only the new wizard to configure tasks. The July 2025 documentation for the pre-existing wizard is still available as a How-To article on the Documentation Portal.
In the near future, the new wizard will be the sole wizard for configuring application ingestion and replication tasks and database ingestion and replication tasks. If you haven't tried it yet, ask Informatica Global Customer Support or your Customer Success Manager to activate it for your organization.
Deprecation of the Simba JDBC driver for Databricks
Effective in the October 2025 release for Application Ingestion and Replication and Database Ingestion and Replication, the Simba JDBC driver for Databricks targets is deprecated. Databricks recommends that you transition to the Databricks JDBC driver. Informatica intends to drop support for the Simba JDBC driver in a future release.
Upgrade task for CLI users
Effective in the October 2025 release, the Database Ingestion and Replication Command-Line Interface (CLI) files are installed in the <Cloud Secure Agent installation>\apps\dbmicli directory. If you have been using the CLI to create or manage application ingestion and replication tasks or database ingestion and replication tasks, before the upgrade, back up your files in the old path <Cloud Secure Agent installation>\apps\Database_Ingestion\<latest_version>\dbmicli, including the key-store, dbmiclienv.properties, and YAML files. After the upgrade, copy the files to the new dbmicli directory path.
