Hello peers,
I am an Associate Specialist at a large computer software company.
I am currently researching Data Integration tools.
How do you relate transformations available in Informatica PowerCenter with transformations or activities available in Azure Data Factory? Please provide any information you may have.
Thank you for your help.
Informatica PowerCenter and Azure Data Factory are Data Integration tools used to extract, transform, and load data, but they have different approaches to transformations.
Informatica PowerCenter uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to create transformations. These transformations are called mappings and are made up of a series of steps that are used to transform the data.
Azure Data Factory uses a more code-based approach to transformations. These transformations are called activities and are written in a language called Azure Data Factory Pipelines.
When comparing transformations in Informatica PowerCenter and Azure Data Factory, consider the following:
If you are unfamiliar with coding, you may want to choose a tool with a GUI-based approach to transformations.
Informatica PowerCenter can typically be more expensive than Azure Data Factory.
