Proxy

When installing Informatica Cloud Secure Agent, if proxy settings are used, it is important to configure the proxy settings in the Secure Agent prior to registering it as a new runtime environment. Else, the Process-Server will not start as it does not have a .ini file and so this information is depended on the agent for the details of the proxy setting.

Partitioning 

Partitioning license enables you to use partitions to optimize performance for mapping tasks.

If a mapping task processes large data sets or includes transformations that perform complicated calculations, the task can take a long time to process. When you use multiple partitions, the mapping task divides data into partitions and processes the partitions concurrently, which can optimize performance.
