Can CDC be enabled for a DSS task?

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technique used to identify changes made to a data set and to capture those changes for synchronization or further processing. In the context of a Data Synchronization Service (DSS) task within Informatica, CDC is not applicable, as DSS tasks primarily focus on data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) rather than tracking ongoing changes. Therefore, stating that CDC can be enabled for a DSS task is incorrect.

The reason that the answer about CDC not being enabled for DSS tasks stands firm is due to the nature and purpose of the DSS tasks themselves, which are typically intended for initial loads or scheduled batch updates rather than continuous real-time data tracking and updates that CDC facilitates. Thus, knowing the functional limitations of DSS tasks and the associated capabilities of the Informatica toolset clarifies that CDC cannot be applied in this scenario.
