Release Tasks (9.6.1 HotFix 1)

This section describes release tasks for Informatica adapters in version 9.6.1 HotFix 1.

Effective in version 9.6.1 HotFix 1, the PowerExchange for Salesforce connection listed under the Enterprise connection category is deprecated, and Informatica will drop support in the next major release. Informatica recommends that you use the new PowerExchange for Salesforce connection listed under the Cloud connection category to read data from and write data to Salesforce.

You can use existing mappings with the deprecated PowerExchange for Salesforce adapter. However, you cannot update the existing mappings or connections to use the PowerExchange for Salesforce connection listed under the Cloud connection category. You must create new mappings and connections to use the new PowerExchange for Salesforce adapter.
