What is a 'Hosted Agent' in IICS, and how does it differ from a Secure Agent?
Answer: A Hosted Agent is Informatica-managed in the cloud and used for cloud-to-cloud integrations; a Secure Agent is customer-installed for on-premise access
The Hosted Agent is a fully managed, cloud-resident agent provided by Informatica for cloud-to-cloud connectivity without customer installation.
How does IICS handle license management for services like Data Integration and Application Integration?
Answer: License bundles are assigned at the organization level and determine which services and features are available
IICS license bundles are assigned to the organization and control which services, connectors, and feature sets are available for use.
Which IICS feature lets administrators control which users can publish assets to the production environment versus the sandbox?
Answer: Asset-level permissions and environment-scoped roles
Asset-level permissions and roles scoped to specific environments (sandbox vs. production) control who can deploy or publish assets.
What is the purpose of 'projects' and 'folders' in IICS for asset organization?
Answer: They provide a hierarchical organizational structure for grouping and managing assets with access permissions
Projects and folders organize assets hierarchically in IICS and are used to control access permissions at the project or folder level.
In IICS, what must an administrator do after installing a new Secure Agent before it can run jobs?
Answer: Register and associate the agent with an agent group and verify it shows an 'Active' status in Administrator
After installation, the Secure Agent must be registered in the IICS Administrator, added to an agent group, and confirmed as Active before tasks can be assigned to it.
Which IICS security mechanism ensures that data in transit between the Secure Agent and the IICS cloud is protected?
Answer: TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for all agent-to-cloud communication
All communication between the Secure Agent and the IICS cloud platform is encrypted using TLS, protecting data in transit.
