Learn to create a login API connection using a swagger 2.0 json file in Informatica IDMC, configuring rest v2, authentication, and testing the connection.

Master cloud application integration in Informatica IDMC by creating a web service. Define the process, configure properties and outputs, enable HTTP-based invocation, and deploy for testing using a CI component.

Define a process in Informatica IDMC using the application designer to build a web service workflow with start, end, receive, loop, and decision components, and deploy to the cloud server.

Configure custom logic for a web service using an assignment component, mapping input and output fields, and crafting a formula with concat to produce a hello name message.

Publish a process in Informatica IDMC/IICS by configuring run on, then generate and access REST or SOAP endpoints, with swagger files for external use.

Test CI processes and REST requests using Postman by configuring a dev custom URL variable and creating a post request. Verify the endpoint, headers, and json body.

Design the web service invocation flow in idmc, outlining four steps from swagger metadata to a tested connection and a business service, using data integration mapping for csv output.

Create a swagger file to invoke an Informatica idmc/iics web service from CI, using a post request with session id, API base path and API path for exporting code values.

Create a Rest v2 connection in IDMC using the administrator checklist, naming conventions, swagger file path, runtime environment, and optional proxy settings; test and save to enable easy management.

Create a business service in data integration by selecting the operation from the swagger-defined connection, configuring session id and content type, saving the service, and validating its state.

learn to create a data integration mapping in informatica idmc/iics, including source file, expression, rest api via a business service, target expression, and target file population.

Execute the data integration mapping by generating a session id with the login api, configuring the m.d.m session id, saving, running, and monitoring mapping execution, source and target records, logs.

Automate cloud application integration workflows in Informatica IDMC/IICS by designing a process using two APIs—get reference data sets and get reference dataset details—to extract code list container IDs with XQuery.

Design a two-level folder structure in Informatica IDMC for CI components, creating service connector, app connectors, CI process, business service folders, and mapping assets (mapping, mapping task, task flow).

Configure a service connector in Informatica IDMC to fetch RDS and code list container IDs via related APIs, using XQuery and XML parsing, with session ID and MDM URL inputs.

Create an application connector by wrapping the published service connector, then save, publish, and verify it in the app connector folder.

Test cai process with postman by publishing it to expose a rest endpoint, then verify access, http method, and code list details using login and reference data.

Create a business service using the data integration checklist, select the existing connection and swagger-based operation, configure body details and errors, enabling data integration mapping and CI process invocation.

Build a data integration mapping in Idmc to invoke a business service via a flat file and expression-mapped inputs, then design a mapping task and end-to-end flow.

Create a mapping task using the data integration workspace, select the relevant mapping from the MDM ref 360 folder, and configure runtime and input parameters.

Select a multiple data integration task flow from the data integration checklist. Configure start and end points, input and output fields, and mapping tasks in the designer.

Execute the taskflow after updating the mapping task input parameters, save changes, and monitor the run to verify the generated container ID CSV file via the CI process.

Master cloud application integration with Informatica Idmc by learning core CI concepts, prerequisites, login API, export API, CI components, and data integration through mapping and task flow.
