Data Provisioning

Data Provisioning is a process of transferring data from a source to target for further analysis and processing. Data Provisioning helps you quickly move data that you require in different source systems for ad-hoc analysis. When you perform data provisioning, the data gets transferred in a format that the target requires. For example, when you create a provisioning task with an Oracle source and Tableau target, the data gets transferred to the target in the Tableau Packaged Data Source (TDSX) file format.
A user who has access to the catalog can perform data provisioning. To perform data provisioning for assets in the resource, a user needs to have read, or read and write permissions for the resource in Catalog Administrator. You can create data provisioning tasks in the Data provisioning tab.
Enterprise Data Catalog uses a mapping and database connections from Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services to perform data provisioning.
You can create provisioning tasks for the following sources:
You can create provisioning tasks for the following targets:
