Sequential File Connector uses group source processing to read bulk data from sequential data sets.
Group source processing reads data that is stored in the same physical source in a single pass. By eliminating multiple passes of the source data, group source processing enhances bulk data movement performance and reduces resource consumption on the source system.
You can use the browser-based Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services interfaces to define Sequential File connections, mappings, and mapping tasks.
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, Sequential File Connector components in conjunction with Data Integration, read and process the records that Sequential File Connector read from the sequential data set.
