Read this section to learn what's new for PowerCenter in version 10.5.
Ciphers Supported for PowerCenter Services
Effective in version 10.5, PowerCenter services supports all the default ciphers supported by the Informatica domain.
Previously, PowerCenter services supported only the following ciphers:
TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
and TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
Connectivity
Effective in version 10.5, PowerExchange Adapters for PowerCenter includes the following features:
- •You can configure an Oracle target session to update or upsert data in batches of arrays.
For more information, see the Informatica 10.5 PowerCenter Workflow Basics Guide.
- •You can parameterize the connection string in the Oracle connection and Oracle external loader connection.
For more information, see the Informatica 10.5 PowerCenter Workflow Basics Guide.
- •When you import a source definition for the following connections, you can edit the metadata for the fields in the source qualifier:
- - PowerExchange for Google Cloud Storage
- - PowerExchange for Kafka
Transformations
Read this section to learn what's new for PowerCenter transformations in version 10.5.
Data Masking Transformation
Effective in version 10.5, you can use the following options in a Data Masking transformation:
- Format preserving encryption
- You can use the format preserving encryption technique to encrypt or decrypt source data. You can configure the technique to preserve format and metadata, preserve metadata, or change the metadata.
- Sort order
- You can sort the order of entries in a relational dictionary that you use for Substitution masking. Sort the order of entries in the dictionary based on the serial number column to ensure that the order remains consistent and generates consistent masked data.
- Optimize dictionary usage
- Optimize dictionary usage to increase the number of masked values used from the dictionary in a Substitution masking technique that you configure for repeatable output.
For information, see the "Data Masking Transformation" chapter in theInformatica PowerCenter 10.5 Transformation Guide.
