New features and enhancements

The October 2026 release of Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC) includes the following new features and enhancements.

Manual update of a CDI-PC domain

You can update a CDI-PC domain manually by running installer commands instead of updating through IDMC. Manual updates are useful in customer-managed environments where you do not want to connect the domain to IDMC for applying updates.

You can update the domain from your current version to the next version. Before you update, shut down the domain completely and verify that no processes are running. Run the update commands from the directory that contains the extracted binaries.

For more information, see the Domain Updates help.

Automatic detection of the product during installation

When you run the CDI-PC installer, you don't need to select a product. The installer automatically detects the product to install based on your license key. The installer reads the license to identify CDI-PC, Data Engineering Integration (Modernization), or Informatica Data Quality (Modernization) and installs the required components and configures the required services.

The Hadoop options apply only to a Data Engineering Integration (Modernization) license.

For more information, see the CDI-PC Installation Guide.

Data Quality assessment

You can assess Data Quality assets, such as applications, profiles, rules, and scorecards, to evaluate readiness of converting the assets to Cloud Data Integration.

For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.

B2B Data Transformation and B2B Managed File Transfer support

Effective in the October 2026 release, CDI-PC supports B2B Data Exchange transformation and B2B Managed File Transfer.

In CDI-PC, you can invoke B2B Data Exchange transformations and B2B Managed File Transfer operations as part of your PowerCenter workflows and mappings. Use the operations to incorporate complex file parsing and secure partner file exchange directly into your CDI-PC integration pipelines.

Conversion of nested Data Engineering Integration mapplets

You can convert the following Data Engineering Integration mappings and mapplets to Cloud Data Integration:

Each mapplet in the hierarchy converts as its own reusable object, so that the parent-child mapplet structure is preserved instead of flattening it into a single mapplet.

For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.

Conversion of Data Engineering Integration dynamic mappings

You can convert Data Engineering Integration mappings that use dynamic ports to Cloud Data Integration. When you convert dynamic mappings, the Data Engineering Integration source and target definitions, port selector rules, dynamic expressions, and wildcard column configurations are converted to their equivalent assets of Cloud Data Integration. After conversion, the parameterized and runtime-resolution behavior are preserved in the converted CDI mappings.

The conversion report identifies dynamic mapping constructs that require manual review or that were partially converted.

For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.

Conversion of PowerCenter XML sources and XML parser transformations

You can convert PowerCenter mappings that contain an XML source or XML Parser transformation. XML sources are converted to a fixed-width flat file source with a downstream structure parser transformation. The flat file uses a single column to hold the XML content with line sequential option enabled. XML Parser transformations are converted to structure parser transformations in Cloud Data Integration.

CDI-PC fully supports normalized (hierarchy) and entity-relationship parser types. For unsupported parser types, the converter generates a normalized structure definition and logs a warning. The resulting mapping might be invalid and require manual correction.

For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.

Conversion of VSAM sources with a normalizer source qualifier

You can now convert PowerCenter mappings that use a VSAM source with a normalizer source qualifier. The converter replaces the VSAM source and normalizer with a flat file source. After conversion, create a Structure Parser transformation with the COBOL copybook definition and replace the flat file source with the Structure Parser transformation.

For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.

Bulk update script information of command tasks

When you run a bulk update task for taskflows, you can now update the script information of command tasks.
