New features and enhancements

The July 2025 release of Application Integration includes the following new features and enhancements.

New SAP IDoc Connector

You can use SAP IDoc Connector to read data from or write data to SAP through Intermediate Documents (IDocs). You can use event sources to consume events from SAP IDoc listeners and event targets to publish messages to SAP IDocs.
For more information, see SAP IDoc Connector Guide.

Community contribution enabled for recipes

Informatica has now enabled community contribution for recipes to promote collaboration amongst users. You can now share your own Application Integration recipes with other users and enrich the recipe collection. After you submit a community recipe, it undergoes a review process. After the recipe gets approved, the recipe will be published to the Recipes page in Application Integration.
As a user, apart from the Informatica-published recipes, you can use recipes contributed by other community users.
For more information, see Getting Started with Recipes.

New recipes

Application Integration provides the following new recipes:
Exporting Profiles from IDMC Data Profiling
Use the recipe to export the most recent run profile data to specified recipients. This recipe leverages the REST APIs of Informatica's IDMC Data Profiling to ensure seamless integration and efficient data handling.
Extract Structured JSON Data from Unstructured Data using Databricks Mosaic AI
Use the recipe to extract structured JSON data from unstructured text. This recipe leverages the Databricks Mosaic AI Large Language Model (LLM) to accurately identify and organize relevant information.
Simple RAG Consumption with NVIDIA NIM
Use the recipe to receive a user query from Slack, search for relevant context in a vector database, send the query and context to the NVIDIA NIM Large Language Model (LLM), and return the generated response back to the Slack channel.
For more information about these recipes, see the corresponding recipe guides.

Metering usage report for processes that run in the Turbo mode

In Administrator, you can download the metering usage reports for processes and subprocesses that run in the Turbo mode within an organization. The report includes execution details for processes, subprocesses, guides, and OData APIs.
For more information, see Organization Administration in the Administrator help.

Support for external secret vault in app connections

You can configure app connections that run on Secure Agents to retrieve sensitive connection credentials from an external secrets manager instead of retrieving them from the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services repository. A secrets manager is also called a secret vault or a key vault.
You'll need to use one of the following external secret vaults:
For more information, see Design.

Support for IMAP protocol in Email connections

You can configure an event source in an Email connection to read emails sent by an email server. The Email connection uses the IMAP protocol to read unseen email messages.
For more information, see Email Connector Guide.

Support for OAuth 2.0 authentication in a data access connector

You can enable OAuth 2.0 authentication when you create a data access service connector. OAuth 2.0 is a protocol for authorization that provides specific authorization flows for web applications and helps in the secure transmission of information between the client and the server. OAuth 2.0 uses access tokens that represent the authorization to access resources on behalf of the user and enable the token issuers to access the data.
For more information, see Design.

New XQuery functions for encryption and decryption

You can use the following XQuery functions:
You can use the GPG and OpenSSL key types.
For more information, see Miscellaneous functions in Design.

Support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3 protocol

Application Integration uses TLS version 1.3 as the protocol to encrypt communications between the clients and servers. It ensures confidentiality and integrity of the data that is transmitted across a connection.
TLS version 1.3 offers a faster TLS handshake.
It supports the following additional cipher suites for improved security:
Note: To use the TLS version 1.3 protocol on a Secure Agent, set the ssl-enabled-protocols attribute value to TLSV1.3 in the System Configuration Details section of the Runtime Environments page in Administrator.
For more information, see Secure Agent Services in the Administrator help.

Support for hierarchical mapper

In the modern view of the Application Integration user interface, you can use a hierarchical mapper to easily map fields between objects. You can create a hierarchical mapper to map a hierarchical schema, such as the schema for an industry-standard message, to another hierarchical schema.
For example, to convert a process object from one type to another, you’ll need to manually map the fields. To avoid the manual effort, you can use a hierarchical mapper. You can select an existing hierarchical mapper or create a new one.
For more information, see Design.
