Amazon S3 connection properties

When you set up an Amazon S3 connection, you must configure the connection properties.
Important: Amazon S3 Connector is deprecated and has been moved to maintenance mode. Informatica intends to drop support in a future release. Informatica recommends that you use Amazon S3 V2 Connector to access Amazon S3.
The following table describes the Amazon S3 connection properties:
Connection property
Description
Runtime Environment
The name of the runtime environment where you want to run the tasks.
Access Key
The access key ID used to access the Amazon account resources. Required if you do not use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication.
Note: Ensure that you have valid AWS credentials before you create a connection.
Secret Key
The secret access key used to access the Amazon account resources.
This value is associated with the access key and uniquely identifies the account. You must specify this value if you specify the access key ID. Required if you do not use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication.
Folder Path
The complete path to the Amazon S3 objects and must include the bucket name and any folder name. Ensure that you do not use a forward slash at the end of the folder path. For example, <bucket name>/<my folder name>
Master Symmetric Key
Optional. Provide a 256-bit AES encryption key in the Base64 format when you enable client-side encryption. You can generate a key using a third-party tool.
If you specify a value, ensure that you specify the encryption type as client side encryption in the advanced target properties in the Schedule page.
