January 22, 2025¶
Informatica PowerCenter OCF Connector: Version 2.0.0¶
Enhancements¶
The following enhancements are added to the connector (AL-173242)
Support for uploading parameter files - If you use parameters to define connection strings, schema, and table names in your workflows, you must download the parameter files (.prm), zip them, and upload to the datasource configuration. This is optional.
MDE and lineage queries are now optimized for faster execution.
For table renames, the connector now captures the changed name to enable cross-system table lineage.
Fixed Issues¶
Connector Skips Tables With Same Name In Different Sources¶
Connector skips one of the tables when there are multiple tables with the same name in different sources.
This issue is now resolved. The metadata extraction logic now creates a unique table name by adding a prefix (tableID) to every table name in the mapping. Thus, no tables with the same name present in different sources are skipped during MDE. (AL-173242)
Important
All the previously extracted tables will now be renamed, deleting previously curated data derived from the earlier tables and replacing it with newly created ones.
Connector Captures Column Data Types Incorrectly¶
The connector fails to capture column data types correctly. (AL-173242)
This issue is now resolved.
