You can use Adabas Connector to connect to a PowerExchange environment to move records from an Adabas source database on a z/OS system and write the data in batch to a supported target.
Adabas Connector must be able to connect to an active PowerExchange environment that includes the PowerExchange Listener. You do not need to copy the PowerExchange dbmover configuration file to the Adabas Connector system. For more information about configuring PowerExchange for Adabas Connector, see the PowerExchange Bulk Data Movement Guide.
Adabas Connector works with the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent. When you install and start the Secure Agent, it downloads the Adabas Connector components and the PowerExchange Client packages. When you define a runtime environment, you configure a Secure Agent group.
To move Adabas source data, you run a mapping or a mapping task.
When you define mappings in Data Integration, you select the Adabas source database. The Adabas Connector metadata adapter can then retrieve the source metadata and store this information in the cloud.
After you materialize a target, you can use PowerExchange Change Data Capture (CDC), if this option is available at your site, to update the target on a continuous basis. By moving only the change data, you can refresh data on the target faster.
Note: Adabas Connector does not work with the Hosted Agent.
