Starting the Developer Tool on a Remote Machine

Starting the Developer Tool on a Remote Machine

Use the command line to start the Developer tool installed on a remote machine.
When the Developer tool is installed on a remote machine, you might not have write access to the installation directory. You must specify a workspace directory on your local machine where the Developer tool can write temporary files. An administrator can configure the default local workspace directory for all users. You can override the default directory when you start the Developer tool.
If the configured local workspace directory does not exist, the Developer tool creates the directory when it writes temporary files.
  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Enter the command to start the Developer tool. You can use the default local workspace directory or override the default directory.
    • To use the default local workspace directory, enter the following command: 
      \\<remote installation directory>\developer.exe
      For example: 
      \\MyRemoteMachine\Informatica\9.5.1\clients\DeveloperClient\developer.exe
    • To override the default local workspace directory, enter the following command: 
      \\<remote installation directory>\developer.exe -data <local workspace directory>
      For example: 
      \\MyRemoteMachine\Informatica\9.5.1\clients\DeveloperClient\developer.exe -data C:\temp\MyWorkspace
      Folder names in the local workspace directory cannot contain the number sign (#) character. If folder names in the local workspace directory contain spaces, enclose the full directory in double quotes.
    The first time you run the Developer tool, the Welcome page displays multiple icons. The Welcome page does not appear when you run the Developer tool again.
  3. Click
    Workbench
    .
    The first time you start the Developer tool, you must add a domain and a Model repository. If the domain contains more than one Data Integration Service, you must also select a default Data Integration Service.
