<@U06TM7M40RK> How to collect metadata from Informatica using DataHub?

It seems likely that DataHub does not have a native connector for Informatica, as indicated by the absence of Informatica in the list of supported sources. However, you can still collect metadata from Informatica by creating a custom ingestion source. According to a <Slack discussion>, you can start by using the DataHub API to build a custom integration.

To create a custom ingestion source, you can refer to the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/how/add-custom-ingestion-source/|DataHub documentation on adding a custom ingestion source>. This involves defining a new source connector that can extract metadata from Informatica and transform it into DataHub’s metadata model.

Would you like more detailed steps on how to proceed with building a custom ingestion source for Informatica?

<@U06TM7M40RK> Hi, your following Slack discussion is about Informix, but I want to discuss Informatica.

I’m not able to find any data sources to answer your question. You might want to specify which Informatica product you are using, such as Informatica PowerCenter or Informatica Cloud. If this doesn’t help, please reach out to the DataHub support team for further assistance. :+1: 0 button :-1: 0 button :bulb: Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.
