About the role
Role Summary Leads the technical execution of the CDI-PC to IDMC migration. Owns the assessment, wave planning, conversion decisions, and handoff to validation. Key Responsibilities Assessment Export repository XML using PowerCenter Repository Manager; run or interpret Migration Factory / PC to Cloud Conversion assessment outputs Build the asset inventory and dependency sequencing map (mapplets before mappings, always) Classify every asset into Simple / Medium / Complex and assign a migration strategy Identify manual remediation scope: flag all command tasks, stored procedures, and custom transformations before wave sizing is committed
Conversion Execute automated conversion of simple and medium assets using PC2CDI or IDMC's built-in PC to Cloud Conversion utility Manually rebuild complex assets — command tasks rewritten as Taskflows, stored procedures evaluated and converted or kept, custom Java transformations rewritten in IDMC native Recreate all connections, parameter sets, and schedules in IDMC per wave as a dedicated parallel workstream — these are not part of the automated stream and are owned entirely by this role Review and publish converted assets in IDMC Mapping Designer and Taskflow Designer; resolve all flagged conversion issues before passing to validation
Validation and Cutover Design SQL reconciliation scripts for mapping-level and business-level validation where CDV is unavailable Interpret CDV or manual validation outputs; triage and resolve discrepancies Prepare the cutover runbook, define rollback triggers, and execute the mandatory dry run
Required Skills Must have (will not function without these): Informatica PowerCenter 9.x / 10.x — Mapping Designer, Workflow Manager, Workflow Monitor, Repository Manager, all standard and non-standard transformations Informatica IDMC / IICS — Mapping Designer, Taskflow Designer, Mapping Tasks, Connections, Parameters, Secure Agent, Monitor SQL — complex reconciliation queries, stored procedure reading, PL/SQL or T-SQL, push-down optimisation techniques Informatica Knowledge Shell scripting — reading and rewriting existing CDI-PC command task scripts PC to Cloud Conversion utility — running conversion projects within IDMC from exported XML
Strong to have: PC2CDI Modernization Service or Migration Factory experience One cloud platform: Databricks (Delta Lake, Databricks SQL), Snowflake, or Azure Synapse UNIX/Linux — file system navigation, job scheduling, log reading
Good to have: Python for validation scripting Cloud Data Validation (CDV) CLAIRE GPT — not essential, accelerates redesign work
