Informatica Platform Resources

You can create and configure an Informatica Platform resource to extract metadata from applications and resource files that you export from Informatica Developer (the Developer tool).

Developer tool users can make mappings, virtual databases, and scorecards available for data lineage in Metadata Manager. To make mappings and virtual databases available for data lineage, Developer tool users deploy the objects to an application. Developer tool users then deploy the application to a Data Integration Service or to an application archive file. To make scorecards available for data lineage, Developer tool users export the scorecards to a resource file for Metadata Manager. In Metadata Manager, you can create Informatica Platform resources from an application or a resource file.

You can create an Informatica Platform resource from the following metadata sources:

Application deployed to a Data Integration Service: Multiple applications can run on a Data Integration Service. If you create an Informatica Platform resource from applications that you deploy to a Data Integration Service, you can include metadata from multiple applications in the resource.

Application archive file: An application archive file contains one application. If you create an Informatica Platform resource from an application archive file, the resource contains metadata from the application that is deployed to the application archive file.

You can create Informatica Platform resources from version 9.5.1 - 9.6.x application archive files. Metadata Manager cannot extract metadata from version 10.x application archive files.

Export resource file for Metadata Manager: An export resource file for Metadata Manager is an XML file that contains one or more scorecard objects. If you create an Informatica Platform resource from an export resource file for Metadata Manager, the resource contains metadata for all scorecards in the resource file.
