Preface
CHAPTER 1
Getting Started Overview

This chapter includes the following topics:
Informatica Domain Overview, 9
Using Informatica Administrator, 11
Informatica Domain Overview

Informatica has a service-oriented architecture that provides the ability to scale services and to share
resources across multiple machines. The Informatica domain is the primary unit for the management and
administration of services.
You can log in to Informatica Administrator after you install Informatica. You use the Administrator tool to
manage the domain and configure the required application services before you can access the remaining
application clients.
The Informatica domain contains the following components:
Application clients. A group of clients that you use to access underlying Informatica functionality.
Application clients make requests to the Service Manager or application services.
Application services. A group of services that represent server-based functionality. An Informatica domain
can contain a subset of application services. You create and configure the application services that the
application clients require.
Application services include system services that can have a single instance in the domain. When you
create the domain, the system services are created for you. You can configure and enable a system
service to use the functionality that the service provides.
Profile warehouse. A relational database that the Data Integration Service uses to store profile results.
Repositories. A group of relational databases that store metadata about objects and processes required to
handle user requests from application clients.
Service Manager. A service that is built in to the domain to manage all domain operations. The Service
Manager runs the application services and performs domain functions including authentication,
authorization, and logging.
The following table lists the application clients, not including the Administrator tool, and the application
services and the repositories that the client requires:

The following application services are not accessed by an Informatica application client:

PowerExchange Listener Service. Manages the PowerExchange Listener for bulk data movement and
change data capture. The PowerCenter Integration Service connects to the PowerExchange Listener
through the Listener Service.
PowerExchange Logger Service. Manages the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows to
capture change data and write it to the PowerExchange Logger Log files. Change data can originate from
DB2 recovery logs, Oracle redo logs, a Microsoft SQL Server distribution database, or data sources on an
i5/OS or z/OS system.

Using Informatica Administrator

Informatica Administrator (the Administrator tool) is the tool you use to manage and monitor the Informatica
domain and Informatica security.
Use the Administrator tool to complete the following types of tasks:
Domain administrative tasks. Manage logs, domain objects, user permissions, and domain reports.
Generate and upload node diagnostics. Monitor Data Integration Service jobs and applications. Domain
objects include application services, nodes, grids, folders, database connections, operating system
profiles, and licenses.
Security administrative tasks. Manage users, groups, roles, and privileges.

Use the Administrator tool to create application services.
Application services provide the functionality for the Informatica domain operations. Create the following
application services for use with the Analyst tool:
Model Repository Service. The Model Repository Service manages the Model repository. The Analyst
tool, Data Integration Service, and Administrator tool store metadata in the Model repository.
Data Integration Service. The Data Integration Service is an application service that performs data
integration tasks for the Analyst tool and other external clients.
Analyst Service. The Analyst Service is an application service that runs the Analyst tool. The Analyst
Service manages the connections between service components and the users who access the Analyst
tool.
You associate a Data Integration Service with a profiling warehouse and a data object cache database. When
you create these application services, you select connections to these databases. A database connection is a
domain object that contains connectivity information for a relational database. You create the connection
objects before you create the Data Integration Service and Analyst Service.

Monitoring Jobs and Applications Overview

Use the Monitor tab to monitor jobs and applications that the Data Integration Service runs.
The Data Integration Service runs ad hoc jobs and applications. An ad hoc job is a profile, scorecard,
mapping, preview or reference table process that is run from the Developer tool or the Analyst tool. An
application is an object that contains one or more SQL data services, deployed mappings, logical data
objects, or workflows.
The Monitor tab contains a Summary Statistics view and an Execution Statistics view. The Summary
Statistics view displays graphical information about Data Integration Services and jobs that they run. The
Execution Statistics view displays properties and statistics for Data Integration Services and jobs that they
run.
The Navigator in the Execution Statistics view lists the Data Integration Services in the domain. When you
expand a Data Integration Service, the navigator lists the jobs and applications that the Data Integration
Service runs. When you select the Ad Hoc Jobs folder in the Navigator, the contents panel lists the ad hoc
jobs that the Data Integration Service has run or is running. When you select a job in an application, the
contents panel displays the SQL data services, deployed mapping jobs, logical data objects, web services,
and workflows included in each application.
You can monitor requests for SQL data service connections. An SQL data service connection is a connection
from an external client. When you view connections to an SQL data service, the contents panel displays
information such as the connection ID, state, and elapsed time. Each SQL data service connection can have
33
multiple requests. When you view a request for an SQL data service, the contents panel displays information
such as the request ID, state, and elapsed time.
You can also view event logs for the Data Integration Service that runs the jobs and applications. The event
logs show the service activity, any errors encountered, and the severity of the errors.
