      • Introduction of new cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) policies.
    • Notifications:
      • Improved customization of email and notification alerts.
    • Testing in Pre-release Environment:
      • Participants should utilize the pre-release environment for testing before the patch goes live in production.

    • The link to join the paid course was shared in the chat.
  3. Q&A Session:

    • Detailed discussions on moving from on-prem to cloud environments and leveraging new features in IDMC.

 

Here’s the list of questions asked by participants during today’s meeting:

  1. Regarding Patch Releases and Compatibility:
    • Can you clarify how the October patch will affect secure agents running on older versions (e.g., Red Hat 7x)?
  2. Metering and Usage Tracking:
    • Is there a way to export metering data for specific services like CDI, CAI, or CDQ?
    • Can we see a breakdown of usage at the project level and for individual services within the org?
  3. API and Metering Integration:
    • How can I implement the export metering API for multiple environments (Dev, QA, Prod)? Do I need to configure it separately for each environment?
  4. SSO Integration:
    • With the new SSO update, do I still need to provide the org ID during setup, or will it work automatically?
  5. Job Switch Guidance:
    • I’m planning to switch jobs. What should I focus on learning to remain competitive in cloud and Informatica IDMC?
  6. Salary Expectations:
    • What salary range should I expect with 4 years of experience in Informatica PowerCenter and IDMC, and how much hike is reasonable during job transitions?

These were the key questions discussed. Let me know if you’d like to add more!

 

Next Steps:

  • All participants are encouraged to test the October patch in the pre-release environment.
  • Consider joining the paid IDMC Administration course for an in-depth understanding of the upcoming changes and hands-on support.
