Projects you will build

Project 1

End-to-end CDI pipeline

Pull data from Oracle and flat files, clean and join it in Cloud Mapping Designer with parameters, and load it to a cloud target through a scheduled taskflow.

Project 2

Masking and replication

Replicate production tables and create a masked, subset copy for testing with field masking rules.

Project 3

API and JSON integration

Read a REST API with the REST V2 connector, parse nested JSON with Intelligent Structure Model and trigger jobs through the IICS REST API.

Questions about this course

Is IDMC the same as IICS?+

Yes. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) is now part of Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC). This course covers its Cloud Data Integration (CDI) service.

Do I need PowerCenter experience?+

No. PowerCenter experience helps you move faster, but we start from the Informatica Cloud basics. Basic SQL is enough to begin.

Will I practise on a real Informatica Cloud org?+

Yes. Every module has hands-on practice, with live demos for mappings, taskflows and admin work.

Is there a free demo before I join?+

Yes. Book a free demo to see the course plan, ask questions and get batch timings and fees.
