Mappings and mapping tasks with IMS Connector

In Data Integration, create a mapping that includes the IMS source and a target of a supported type. Optionally, create a mapping task that is associated with the mapping to process change data based on the mapping.
The mapping and mapping task information is stored in the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services cloud.
To process the IMS records, run the mapping or mapping task in a selected runtime environment. The job runs on premises, on the same machine where the Secure Agent and PowerExchange client components run. The mapping or mapping task uses the information pushed down from the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services cloud. The PWX Reader moves the data from PowerExchange, and Data Integration transmits the records to the target based on the mapping.
After a job ends, you can determine its status and view the session log from either Data Integration or Monitor.
