Which of the following is NOT a common method to invoke a Batch Integration job?

Batch Integration jobs in Informatica Cloud can be triggered through several commonly used methods depending on the specific requirements of the data integration process.

The option pertaining to "Direct Query" is not a typical method for invoking a Batch Integration job. Batch jobs are designed to process large sets of data at regular intervals or on-demand, and are best suited for tasks that require processing a significant volume of records.

The methods that are commonly used to invoke these jobs include pre-defined schedules, which allow users to set up automatic execution of jobs at specified intervals; on-demand invocation, where users manually trigger the job as needed; and user-initiated executions, where end-users initiate jobs based on operational requirements. Each of these methods facilitates convenience and flexibility in managing data integration workflows.

In contrast, "Direct Query" implies an immediate execution or interaction with a data source often associated with real-time data processing or queries rather than batch jobs. Therefore, it doesn’t fit into the standard methods of invoking Batch Integration jobs.
