A subscription that consumes multiple data sets from the same topic with a single batch workflow. An aggregated subscription can use an automatic mapping or a custom mapping to process data. When you use an automatic mapping, the subscription sorts the data according to the publication date and time of the publication instances.
application
An entity that represents a system in your organization that needs to share data with other systems. An application can be a publisher and a subscriber. An application can publish multiple data sets.
child event
An event within the hierarchy of another event that acts as a parent event. The child event is a subsidiary of the parent event.
Cloud Integration Hub repository
A relational database table set that contains the metadata required to process publications and subscriptions in Cloud Integration Hub. It also contains the events that Cloud Integration Hub generates while it processes publications and subscriptions.
compound publication
A publication that publishes single or multiple data sets to multiple topics with a single Data Integration mapping task.
compound subscription
A subscription that consumes data sets from multiple topics with a single task. If a compound subscription runs manually or by an external trigger, or by a schedule, multiple data sets or files from the same publication might be available for consumption at the scheduled time or at the time the subscription is triggered. You can choose to consume the data or files from the latest publication.
Data Integration task
A Data Integration task is a process that you configure to analyze, extract, transform, and load data. In Cloud Integration Hub, a Data Integration task is a task that reads from a file, a database, or another source and writes to a target. Use Data Integration tasks to process Cloud Integration Hub publications and subscriptions with Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
When you use a Data Integration task to process publications, you use the Cloud Integration Hub cloud connector as the publication target. When you use a Data Integration task to process subscriptions, you use the Cloud Integration Hub cloud connector as the subscription source.
event
An occurrence of a publication or subscription at each stage of processing. The Cloud Integration Hub server generates the event and updates the event status while it processes the publication or subscription.
parent event
An event at the top level of a hierarchy of events.
publication
An entity that defines data flow from a data source to the Cloud Integration Hub publication repository and the data publishing schedule. The publication publishes the data to a topic that defines the structure of the data in the publication repository. When a publication runs, Cloud Integration Hub extracts the data set from the application, processes the data, and writes the data to the publication repository. You can then create one or more subscriptions to process and write the published data set to target applications.
publication repository
A relational database table set that stores published data sets that subscribers can consume. Cloud Integration Hub stores the data in the publication repository until the retention period for the data expires.
simple publication
A publication that publishes single or multiple data sets and files to a single topic with a Data Integration or a Mass Ingestion task or with an API.
simple subscription
A subscription that consumes single or multiple data sets or files from a single topic with a Data Integration or a Mass Ingestion task or with an API.
subscription
An entity that defines the type, format, and schedule of data flow from the Cloud Integration Hub publication repository to a data target. When a subscription runs, Cloud Integration Hub extracts the data set from the publication repository, processes the data, and writes the data to the target application. You can subscribe to one or more topics. Each topic to which you subscribe can contain data from multiple publishers.
topic
An entity that represents a data domain that applications publish and consume through Cloud Integration Hub. A topic defines the data structure and additional data definitions such as the data retention period. Multiple applications can publish to the same topic. Multiple applications can consume data from the same topic.
unbound subscription
A subscription that is not restricted to specific publication instances. It subscribes to all the data that a publication publishes and consumes the data based on the subscription filter, regardless of when or in what batch the data was published.
