Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC) includes the following changed behaviors in the April 2026 release:
Bulk update connections template
After you assess a PowerCenter repository, the assessment report ZIP now contains a new file named BulkUpdateConnectionTemplate.xlsx. You can update and use this file in a bulk update task to create or update multiple connections with one operation.
Previously, you could update the connections only manually because the assessment report did not include the template file.
For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.
Connection details in the assessment report
The assessment report now includes details of the parameterized connections and their resolved values for each transformation as an Excel file.
Previously, the assessment report included connection details without the parameterized connections and their resolved values.
For more information, see PowerCenter Modernization.
Conversion of session parameters to mapping variables
The parameter file conversion task automatically converts session parameters with the prefix $ into mapping variables with prefix $$. However, to ensure environment stability, the following parameters are not converted:
•Any parameter starting with the $PM prefix.
•Any parameter containing the substrings file or dir (case-insensitive).
