If you’re already familiar with Informatica PowerCenter, you can easily upskill for the cloud. In this roughly 90-minute certification course, you will learn how core PowerCenter concepts work in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS). Watch a series of short videos to see direct comparisons of how key tasks are performed in PowerCenter versus IICS and come away with a detailed understanding of how IICS handles your use cases today.

By registering once, you will be automatically registered for the series. Complete the series and pass the short quiz at the end to earn certification and a badge you can post on your LinkedIn profile.

Course Agenda:

1. How to Navigate IICS: This video is intended to help familiarize a PowerCenter developer on how to navigate Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, also referred to as IICS, and to understand where you need to go to perform the tasks you would normally execute using PowerCenter. This will only be a high-level summary of the equivalent of the Repository Manager, Designer, and Workflow Manager and Monitor. There are subsequent videos in this learning path that will go into the details of each.
2. Component Architecture: This video is intended to help familiarize a PowerCenter developer with the component architecture of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. The video will take you first through the component architecture of PowerCenter and then compare it with the component architecture of IICS.
3. How do Folders Work in IICS: This video is intended to help familiarize a PowerCenter developer with the capabilities in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, also referred to as IICS, that are similar to what the Repository Manager provides. Customers typically use the Repository Manager to create folders, manage permissions, and import and export metadata, and in this video, we'll see how IICS provides those same capabilities.
4. Building a Mapping – No Source Qualifier: This video is intended to help PowerCenter developers accustomed to using source qualifiers when creating mappings understand how IICS deals with sources and targets differently from PowerCenter.
5. Building a Mapping – No Ports: This video is intended to help PowerCenter developers accustomed to using transformation ports when creating mappings understand how IICS deals with fields differently from PowerCenter Designer.
6. Similarities and Differences in Mapping Transformations: This video is intended to explore how the mapping transformations in IICS are similar to PowerCenter and will introduce some of the new transformations that IICS provides.
7. Running a Mapping without a Session: In this video, we'll explore how you can run and monitor mappings without first creating the equivalent of a PowerCenter session.
8. PowerCenter Session Equivalent in IICS: In the last video, you saw how you could execute a mapping directly from the cloud mapping designer interface. In this video, you will see how to create the equivalent of a PowerCenter session in IICS.
9. Workflow Equivalent in IICS: This video is intended to explore the equivalent of the Workflow manager in the monitoring capabilities in the Cloud Data Integration platform.
10. User/Groups and Permissions: This session will take you through users, user groups, roles, and permissions in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
11. Upgrades: This video is intended to familiarize PowerCenter developers with the differences in how Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services deals with upgrades compared to PowerCenter.
12. Adding Connectors: This video deals with adding new connectors in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services and elaborates on how it is different in PowerCenter.
13. CDI Functionality: This video will take you through the net new capabilities in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services compared to what you might be familiar with within PowerCenter.
14. IICS Services: This session will use some additional Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services that extend its use case beyond traditional data integration.
