You add domain connection information to the PowerCenter Client so that you can connect to repositories in the domain. After you add a domain connection, you can select from a list of associated repositories to add to the Navigator.
You can also enter domain connection information when you connect to a repository.
To configure a domain connection and add repositories to the Navigator:
In a PowerCenter Client tool, select the Repositories node in the Navigator.
Click Repository > Configure Domains to open the Configure Domains dialog box.
Click the Add button.
The Add Domain dialog box appears.
Enter the domain name, gateway host name, and gateway port number.
Use the gateway HTTP port number to connect to the domain from the PowerCenter Client. You cannot connect to the domain using the HTTPS port number.
Click OK to add the domain connection.
After you add a domain connection, you can add repositories to the Navigator by selecting them in the list of associated repositories.
The list of associated repositories might change if a user adds or deletes a Repository Service in the Administrator tool while you are working in the PowerCenter Client. You refresh the list of associated repositories each time you click a domain other than the currently selected domain in the left panel. Click Refresh to update the list of associated repositories for the currently selected domain.
If you need to add repositories to the Navigator, complete the following steps:
Click a domain name in the left panel of the Configure Domains dialog box.
In the right panel, select the repositories to add to the Navigator.
