command line programs to administer repositories. Use the Repository Manager and the
pmrep
command line program to manage folders and to manage permissions for folders and global objects.
The Repository Service creates and updates the repository tables. These tables store metadata that the Integration Service and the PowerCenter Client use.
The PowerCenter repository tables have an open architecture. Although you can view the repository tables, never manually edit them through other utilities. Informatica is not responsible for corrupted data if a customer alters the repository tables or the data within those tables.
Use the Administrator tool to configure security and to copy, back up, delete, and restore repository content. You can back up the repository to a binary file. You can restore the entire repository from a binary file. You can also copy all the repository tables from another database.
