Informatica encryption for Google Cloud Storage V2 sources and targets
You can download a flat source file that is encrypted using the Informatica crypto libraries in the local machine or staging location and decrypt the source files. You can encrypt the data when you write data to a flat file target.
Informatica encryption is applicable only when you run mappings on the Secure Agent machine installed on the Google Cloud Platform virtual machine.
When you configure a mapping, you can enable Informatica encryption for delimited flat files, fixed-width files, and binary files.
When you configure a mapping in advanced mode, you can enable Informatica encryption only for delimited flat files.
To read a source file that is encrypted or to encrypt the data when you write to a target file using the Informatica crypto libraries, perform the following tasks:
1Ensure that the organization administrator has permission to the Informatica crypto libraries license when you create a Google Cloud Storage V2 connection.
2Select Informatica Encryption as the encryption type in the advanced source or target properties.
3Ensure that you encrypt or decrypt the file within the same organization ID.
Importing encrypted source files
When you read an Informatica encrypted source file and select the Informatica Encryption as the encryption type, Secure Agent fails to import the encrypted file.
To import the data successfully, perform the following tasks:
1Select the Is Encrypted File option in the Google Cloud Storage V2 connection.
2Import an encrypted file from Google Cloud Storage and select Delimited as the Format.
3Select Import from Schema File as the Schema Source in the formatting options.
4Upload a schema file in the JSON format in the Schema File property to override the schema of the encrypted file.
5Select Informatica Encryption as the encryption type in the advanced source properties.
Alternatively, you can select a dummy source file that contains the same metadata as in the Informatica encrypted source file from where you want to read data. To override the file name of the dummy source file, enter the file name of the Informatica encrypted source file in the Source File Name advanced source property. Then, select Informatica Encryption as the encryption type in the advanced source properties.
