Qlik Replicate + Informatica // Qlik Replicate + IBM Datastage: What is it used for?

[monon]

Hello everyone,

As part of a study into the use of integration solutions, I've noticed that some users seem to be combining different tools, in particular Qlik Replicate + Qlik compose + Informatica (powercenter/ICS) or even Qlik Replicate + Qlik compose + IBM DataStage.

Is this the case for you or have you already seen this type of usage? If so, what does it involve?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, 

In genreal Qlik Replicate is used to Replicate data between different database endpoints and Replicate compose allows you to intergrate data from different source. If you wish you can read more details about the producs in the products user guide (see links below). Every customer uses these product in different combinations based on their need.  So the question that needs to be asked here is what is your need?
