Your organization needs to replicate real-time change data from a mission-critical IMS production system to minimize intrusive, non-critical work, such as offline reporting or analytical operations, on that system.
You can use IMS CDC Connector to connect to an on-premises PowerExchange CDC for IMS system from a Linux or Windows system where the Secure Agent is installed. IMS CDC Connector components retrieve metadata about IMS source tables and the change records that PowerExchange captured for these sources. The source metadata is stored in the Data Integration cloud. You can use the browser-based Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services interfaces to define IMS CDC connections, mappings, and mapping tasks. When you run the mapping tasks, the CDC Connector components in conjunction with Data Integration retrieve and process the change records that PowerExchange captured from the production database and transmit these change records to one or more targets. Multiple users can then access the latest data on the target systems.
By using IMS CDC Connector, you reduce the workload on IMS production systems while making accurate and up-to-date IMS change data available to multiple users on less critical target systems. Also, you gain access to easy-to-use, browser-based interfaces for defining mappings and mapping tasks and for running and monitoring mapping tasks.
