You must create an IDMS CDC connection to connect to a PowerExchange Listener to read from IDMS data sources.
The PWX Bulk Reader that is on the system where the Secure Agent runs requires the connection information to retrieve IDMS data records from PowerExchange.
You can create an IDMS connection in Administrator or Data Integration, provided that your assigned user role allows this action. Use one of the following methods:
•In Administrator, click Connections on the navigation bar. On the Connections page, click New Connection and then enter connection details and properties for a connection that has the type of IDMS CDC.
•In Data Integration, when you create a mapping, click Source on the mapping canvas and then under Properties, click Source to display the Properties > Source panel. To create a connection, click New Connection , select Actual Data, and define a connection that has the type of IDMS CDC. Alternatively, if you previously defined an IDMS CDC connection, select it from the Connection list.
When you configure a connection, you must specify a runtime environment for the connection. The runtime environment must contain a Secure Agent with the status "Up and Running."
After you create an IDMS CDC connection, it becomes available for use within the organization and can be used in multiple mappings.
