Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud Integration Guide
Integrate IDMC with enterprise systems through service-specific REST APIs, asynchronous jobs, event-driven patterns, files, databases, and Secure Agent-based data movement.
Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud integration options at a glance
IDMC provides service-specific REST APIs for authentication, asset operations, task execution, job monitoring, and administration. It also supports asynchronous and batch execution through Data Integration tasks, file and cloud-storage exchanges, database connections, and Secure Agent runtimes. Application Integration provides event-driven and HTTP invocation patterns, although webhook coverage is not universal across IDMC assets. Authentication may use OAuth 2.0 or an IDMC login/session flow, with permissions controlled by roles and asset access. Martini can consume these APIs, receive supported callbacks, orchestrate polling workflows, transform payloads, coordinate files, and expose controlled APIs for downstream applications.

Authentication and security considerations
Service-specific authentication
IDMC authentication varies by API family and may use OAuth 2.0, client credentials, scopes, access tokens, or an IDMC login/session flow. Basic credentials may be used to obtain a session or for selected operations, but they should not be treated as the general-purpose preferred pattern.
Secrets and permissions
Martini should keep client secrets, tokens, session identifiers, passwords, regional URLs, and other credentials in environment-specific secret configuration. IDMC roles, service-account permissions, organization settings, asset permissions, and Secure Agent access all affect the result of an integration.
Network and runtime controls
Secure Agent groups, private connectivity, allowlists, certificates, proxies, and network routes can determine whether an IDMC task reaches a target system. Do not expose credentials in workflow payloads or logs.
Operational considerations for Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud integrations
Endpoints, pagination, and limits
IDMC organizations may use regional login, API, and product-service hosts. Store these as configuration. Implement endpoint-specific pagination, filtering, request limits, and concurrency controls rather than assuming a first page contains all assets or jobs.
Asynchronous execution
Persist the IDMC job identifier and poll with backoff. Distinguish queued, running, successful, failed, canceled, and timed-out states, and enforce a maximum wait time.
Idempotency and retries
A timeout during submission may leave a job running. Use business correlation keys, deterministic file markers, source watermarks, or target-side deduplication before retrying. Retry transient network, availability, and rate-limit failures, but not permanent authorization or validation errors.
Runtime and schema changes
Monitor Secure Agent and Agent Group availability, validate connection references, and test changes to mappings, taskflows, parameters, and API responses before production deployment. Preserve HTTP status, Informatica error details, job IDs, and correlation identifiers for troubleshooting.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestration beyond individual API calls
Martini provides workflows for coordinating IDMC task submission, asynchronous monitoring, file processing, downstream updates, and operational notifications without embedding the entire process in a script.
Reusable integration behavior
Teams can centralize authentication, endpoint configuration, mappings, validation, retry rules, idempotency controls, and error routing across multiple IDMC services and enterprise applications.
Controlled APIs and maintainability
Martini can expose a business-level API that hides regional IDMC endpoints and credentials while preserving explicit authorization and validation. This creates a governed interface for applications that need to start or monitor IDMC operations.
