IDMS Connector usage scenario

You can use IDMS Connector to connect to an on-premises PowerExchange for an IDMS system from a Linux and Windows system where the Secure Agent is installed.
With Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services interfaces, you gain access to easy-to-use, browser-based interfaces for defining mappings and mapping tasks and running and monitoring mapping tasks. When you run the mapping and mapping tasks, IDMS Connector components, in conjunction with Data Integration, read and process the records that IDMS Connector retrieved from the PowerExchange IDMS data source.
Also, you must run a PowerExchange Listener on the z/OS system where the IDMS source is located. Verify that this PowerExchange Listener can communicate with the Secure Agent System.
