Step 2. Install the Metadata Manager Agent

The Metadata Manager Agent is a program that Metadata Manager uses to access metadata sources and extract source metadata.

By default, the Metadata Manager Agent runs on the Windows node where the Metadata Manager Service runs. It uses one port number higher than the Metadata Manager Service. You can configure the port number in the Administrator tool. A separate instance of the Metadata Manager Agent runs for each Metadata Manager Service on a node. The agent runs in the following directory:

<Informatica installation directory>\services\MetadataManagerService\mmagentapps\mmagent\

You can also install the Metadata Manager Agent separately on the same machine where the Metadata Manager service runs or on another Windows machine.

You must install the Metadata Manager Agent separately in the following circumstances:

When you extract metadata from some business intelligence, data integration, data modeling, or JDBC metadata sources.: To extract metadata from some business intelligence, data integration, data modeling, or JDBC metadata sources, you must install the Metadata Manager Agent on the machine that runs the vendor supplied software. For example, to extract metadata from Microstrategy, the Metadata Manager Agent and the Microstrategy client must be on the same machine. For information about extracting metadata from business intelligence and data modeling resources, see the documentation for the resource type that you want to create.
When the domain uses Kerberos authentication.: When the domain uses Kerberos authentication and the Metadata Manager Service runs on Windows, you must install the Metadata Manager Agent separately. You can install the Metadata Manager Agent separately on the same machine where the Metadata Manager Service runs, or you can install it on another Windows machine.
When the Metadata Manager Service runs on UNIX.: You must install the Metadata Manager Agent on a Windows machine. The Metadata Manager Agent does not run on UNIX.
