Install Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter on a machine that is separate from the host machines in the PowerCenter domain.

The solution objects connect to the PowerCenter repository to gather operational data like completed sessions or completed workflows. To fetch data from the tables and views in the PowerCenter repository, the solution requires creation of a read-only user with specific privileges.

After installation, you must copy and run the node agent component binaries on all nodes where the PowerCenter services run.

The solution needs to connect to a specific Informatica domain to start monitoring the domain. This involves configuring the solution through Proactive Monitoring Management Console.

When the solution is online, you can customize and extend built-in rules to enhance the monitoring capabilities based on the business needs.

The solution can be configured to send email and RTAM alerts to the personas defined in the solution, namely pcadmin, pcmonitor, dataarchitect, apparchitect, itsecurity. Each of these personas can have an associated RTAM login or email ID. In case of email, the user will start receiving email alerts as and when anomalies are detected by the solution. In case of RTAM, the user needs to login to the RTAM web application to check the alerts on demand.

You can also use the PMPC solution to send alerts as SNMP traps in addition to email and RTAM alerts. Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter supports SNMP v2.

You can use the Reports dashboard to get information about the health of the monitored services, hosts, and nodes in a Informatica domain. View the execution failures that occur over a period of time and drill down into the alert details from the Reports dashboard.

You can use the Manage Objects tab to manage watchlists, SQL sources, rules, and topics. You can view the events generated for a source and the activations for a rule.
