Before you begin configuring IDMS connections, mappings, and mapping tasks, you must complete several prerequisite tasks in PowerExchange and in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Administrator. Make sure you have a user role that allows you to perform these tasks.
•Verify that the PowerExchange installations on the z/OS source system and PowerExchange Navigator system use a PowerExchange version that the IDMS Connector supports. Test your configuration by verifying that PowerExchange is able to retrieve records from IDMS data sources.
•If you localize PowerExchange messages in Japanese, before you start the Secure Agent, create a copy of the PowerExchange dbmover_ja.cfg file. Then set the PWX_CONFIG environment variable to point to the copy. For more information about the dbmover_ja.cfg configuration file, see the PowerExchange Reference Manual.
•Download the Secure Agent. The Secure Agent can then download the IDMS Connector components and PowerExchangeClient packages based on your licensing. The download also creates a Secure Agent group that contains a Secure Agent as the runtime environment. You can add another Secure Agent to the group. You must have at least one runtime environment in each organization so that users in the organization can run tasks.
Note: IDMS Connector does not support the Hosted Agent.
•In Administrator, configure user roles if the predefined roles are not sufficient. Then assign one or more roles to each user or user group. The roles must provide the privileges that the users require to perform all of their tasks. Usually, the organization administrator configures user roles.
•If you do not want users to run scheduled mapping tasks during a certain period, define a blackout period for all schedules on the Schedules page in Administrator.
