File connector allows us to configure both event source and event target. An event source serves as a start event that listens or monitors a specified location for new files or messages.
The File Connector includes the following event target types:
File Writer. Write data in plain text, binary, attachment, JSON, or XML format to a file in the specified directory.
Delimited Content Writer. Serialize process objects to delimited content format and write the result to a file in the specified directory.

Insert is supported because it involves appending new data to the file, which is straightforward.
Update, Upsert, and Delete are not supported because flat files do not have the same capabilities as databases for record-level operations. Flat files typically require rewriting the entire file for updates or deletions, which is not efficient or practical in the context of a Synchronization task.

You can monitor the jobs that you started on the My Jobspage within the service where you started the job. The My Jobs page lists your jobs that are currently running and your jobs that have completed.

Jobs section allows users to view: Instrance Name, Location, Subtasks, Start Time, End Time, Rows Processed, Status and also session/error logs.

Taskflows in Informatica Cloud Data Integration are used to design, orchestrate, and manage the execution of multiple data integration tasks, allowing you to automate workflows. The Secure Agent, on the other hand, is a runtime component that enables secure data movement between cloud and on-premises environments but is not used for designing tasks.

You can send email to different addresses based on the status of the task:

Failure Email Notification. Sends failure email notification when the task fails to complete.
Warning Email Notification. Sends warning email notification when the task completes with errors.
Success Email Notification. Sends success email notification when the task completes without errors.

When configuring a taskflow, a user needs Execute permission on all tasks to be added to the taskflow. To edit a taskflow, a user needs Execute permission on all tasks in the taskflow. Without Execute permission on all tasks, the user cannot save changes to the taskflow.

The field mapping defines how source fields are mapped to target fields. You can specify an expression for each field mapping. You can map multiple source fields to the same target field. For example, you can map SourceFieldA and SourceFieldB to TargetFieldC. Field expression can be also used to create new fields and provide them with constant value.

In Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS), the Hierarchical Schema component is a vital element for handling hierarchical data structures such as XML or JSON.
A Hierarchical Schema component can be used by the following parent objects: Hierarchy Parser transformation, Hierarchy Builder transformation

The Informatica Cloud Secure Agent is a lightweight program that runs all tasks and enables secure communication across the firewall between your organization and Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. Informatica Cloud Secure Agent works locally behind your firewall which means data never gets staged through the Informatica Cloud servers.
