Informatica Cloud In JAMS

The InformaticaCloud Execution Method allows users to automate any existing Informatica Cloud task, using the Informatica REST API. 

NOTE: If you are using JAMS V7.2.632 or older for the InformaticaCloud Execution Method, it is recommended that you upgrade the JAMS Client and JAMS Scheduler to the latest version to use the new optimization improvements. To edit Informatica Cloud Jobs, the JAMS Client must be upgraded if it connects to a JAMS Scheduler that has been upgraded to the latest version. After you upgrade, you will need to edit each existing Informatica Cloud Job as follows:
  • Reselect your task in the Task drop-down on the Source tab. (Select a different task, and then select the original task.)
  • Save the Job.
