Migrating workflow from Informatica to Talend

[Anonymous]

Can someone please help and share any document or steps on how to migrate a workflow from Informatica to Talend ?

Does this tool provides 100% automation for migration or there is some % conversion rate (based on the previous usage) ?

Any other relevant details would be helpful.

how - redesign from scratch

automation - no

hope it help

P.S. it is very long discussion, and no one of competitor do not provide migration tools, each of them have it own ideology and architecture

Do not try to implement AS/IS, the question - "we do this in Informatica/ODI/Mule/... as 1,2,3 and want implement exactly the same way " - do not have any answer and wrong direction.

Choose Talend? Use it best moments and do not look back

in any case split all scope of tasks by priority, clean it

Thanks for sharing this information. This will definitely help and give a direction to the thought process. 

I have not gone through all the links shared but looking at the information gone through so far i assume rewriting looks to be the recommended approach. 

Any other thoughts ? I guess in one of the videos i watched on youtube it claimed that Pacers and scripts written in Talend will help you migrate approx 70 % of workflow. Not sure how.
