- Published Oct 27, 2025
Monitor completed and long-running Informatica jobs
Informatica is a powerful tool that allows you to thoroughly monitor long-running jobs.
Get started
Overview
Monitor completed jobs through the informatica activityLog API and running jobs through the activityMonitor API API.
Use cases
- Monitor failing and long running jobs.
Requirements
Provide an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) user acount with read-only access to the REST web service or specifically to the REST resources: activityLog and activityMonitor. For details, see Web Service Permissions.
A user is authenticated via Informatica Login API. A valid response returns the icSessionId and serverUrl for subsequent extension resource queries.
Compatibility information
- Informatica Platform REST API version 2
- Informatica Cloud (IICS)
Informatica On-Premise (PowerCenter) is not supported. It doesn't share the same APIs.
Activation and setup
Activate the extension in your environment using the Dynatrace extensions HUB.
Follow the instructions and prompts from the extensions settings to configure:
- URL (Informatica cloud base URL -
https://<cloud provider>-<region>.informaticacloud.com) - Username (For HTTP basic authentication)
- Password (For HTTP basic authentication)
Details
The extension provides visibility into your Informatica job executions.
Running Jobs (ActivityMonitor)
- Metrics—start and end times
- Dimensions—type, task.id, task.name
Completed Jobs (ActivityLog)
- Metrics
- Source rows: failed, success
- Target rows failed, success
- Total rows failed, success
- Dimensions—id, type, object.id, object.name
Feature sets
When activating your extension using monitoring configuration, you can limit monitoring to one of the feature sets. To work properly the extension has to collect at least one metric after the activation.
In highly segmented networks, feature sets can reflect the segments of your environment. Then, when you create a monitoring configuration, you can select a feature set and a corresponding ActiveGate group that can connect to this particular segment.
All metrics that aren't categorized into any feature set are considered to be the default and are always reported.
A metric inherits the feature set of a subgroup, which in turn inherits the feature set of a group. Also, the feature set defined on the metric level overrides the feature set defined on the subgroup level, which in turn overrides the feature set defined on the group level.
