Informatica Cloud requires a SalesForce object to be designated as replicable in order to set up CDC on it?

Informatica Cloud does indeed require a Salesforce object to be designated as replicable in order to set up Change Data Capture (CDC) on it. Designating an object as replicable ensures that the system can track and capture changes made to that object, which is essential for implementing CDC effectively. Without this designation, the integration would not have the capability to monitor the specified object for updates, inserts, and deletes, which are critical operations for maintaining data accuracy and synchronization across systems.

The requirement for an object to be replicable is tied to the underlying mechanics of how CDC operates—it relies on being able to identify changes in the data to properly process and replicate them to the target systems. Therefore, this answer is in alignment with the operational needs of Informatica Cloud when dealing with Salesforce data.
