Hi Jacques,

you can integrate metadata from Informatica PowerCenter into SAP Information Steward based on the "Information Steward Multi-Source Metadata Integrator by MITI" an additional component for metadata sources beyond the standard metadata sources supported by Information Steward itself.

The Product Availability Matrix link above includes on slide 12 the Integrator Connectivity component (MITI), at the bottom you can find there further information and hint on supported external metadata sources.

Excerpt:

Information on metadata sources or tools supported by the MIMB can be found on the Meta Integration Technologies Inc (MITI) website: http://metaintegration.net/Products/MIMB/SupportedTools.html. SAP BusinessObjects Information Steward supports most but not all the metadata sources supported by MIMB including those for SAP BusinessObjects. Following is a list of metadata sources not supports

• ANSI
• COSORT
• IBM INFORSPHERE DISCOVERY
• INFORMATICA DATA ANALYZER
• KALIDO
• META INTEGRATION
• MICRO FOCUS
• MICROSOFT SQL SERVER REPOSITORY
• MICROSOFT SERVER XML DATA REDUCED (XDR) SCHEMA
• OPENTEXT
• SAS

Review this information frequently, as there are some change supported metadata sources over the time.
