The practice of managing the level of user access to the assets in your organization through a set of access policies that control permissions on assets.
Used by Data Governance and Catalog, Data Marketplace.
access policy
A set of rules to control access to assets and define permissions on those assets in an organization.
For example, you can create an access policy to grant data stewards permissions to create, read, update, and delete business terms in your organization.
Used by Data Governance and Catalog, Data Marketplace.
advanced cluster
A Kubernetes cluster that provides a distributed processing environment on the cloud. An advanced cluster can be a fully-managed, self-service, or local cluster.
Can be used by all services.
advanced configuration
An asset that defines an advanced cluster. A Secure Agent uses an advanced configuration to either create a fully-managed or local cluster, or to connect to a self-service cluster.
Used by Data Integration.
advanced mode
A mode in the Mapping Designer that enables transformations, functions, and connectors for advanced use cases that process data such as multilevel hierarchical data, embedded code snippets, and workloads at any scale.
You can create a mapping in advanced mode.
Used by Data Integration.
agent
A program that runs tasks in IDMC. An agent can be a Secure Agent that runs locally within your environment or within a cloud computing services environment, or it can be the Hosted Agent that runs at an Informatica Cloud hosting facility.
Can be used by all services.
appconnection
An asset that you configure to provide access to data in cloud and on-premises applications, APIs, web services, and databases.
Used by Application Integration.
application
An Integration Hub asset that represents a system in the organization that needs to share data with other systems.
Used by Integration Hub.
application ingestion and replication task
A task that propagates data from source objects in a Software-as-a-Service or an on-premise application to targets. The task can transfer a point-in-time snapshot of all source data to a target. The task can also incrementally propagate only the records that contain data changes on a continuous basis.
Used by Data Ingestion and Replication.
array of structs
An array data type where each element is a struct data type.
Used by Data Integration.
asset
An object that contains usable information about your data or about processes that apply to your data. You can create, read, update, and delete assets.
Can be used by all services.
asset group
An organizational category that you can assign as an attribute to assets. Use an asset group within an access policy to control access to multiple assets in a single operation. Create an asset group in Metadata Command Center. You can create asset groups in a hierarchical manner so one asset group is a parent to others.
Used by Data Governance and Catalog, Data Marketplace.
automap
A feature in Data Integration that automatically links source and target fields in transformations and tasks. The Automap menu contains two options: Exact Field Name and Smart Map. Runs at the field level.
Used by Data Integration.
auto-match
The process of automatically running the match process to identify duplicate records. Runs at the entity level.
Used by Master Data Management.
auto-scaling
The ability to dynamically increase the amount of computational resources when needed.
In Operational Insights, administrators define auto-scaling policies based on CPU utilization or memory consumption thresholds for nodes within a grid. Each time the processes running in the grid exceed a threshold, Operational Insights executes a script to provision a node in the cloud and add it to the grid.
In Data Integration, advanced clusters can auto-scale by dynamically increasing or decreasing the number of cluster nodes and cluster storage.
