Add the PowerCenter Repository

You must add a PowerCenter repository and designate one repository folder to store Data Validation Option mappings, sessions, and workflows. Optionally, you can integrate Metadata Manager to view additional metadata about data sources.

Open the Data Validation Client.

Right-click

INFA Repositories

in the Navigator, and select

Add Repository

The

Repository Editor

dialog box appears.

Enter the following PowerCenter connection properties:

Property	Description
Name	Logical name of the PowerCenter repository for Data Validation Option. This name appears in the Navigator pane of the Data Validation Client. If this is the repository that contains the target folder, append “target” to the name.
Client Location	Location of the pmrep.exe file on the PowerCenter Client machine. For example: C:\Informatica\<version>\clients\PowerCenterClient\client\bin .
PowerCenter Version	The PowerCenter version that runs Data Validation Option.

If the PowerCenter repository that you entered contains the target folder for the data validation metadata, enter the following target repository properties:

If you add multiple PowerCenter repositories, select this option for one PowerCenter repository.

Target Folder	Name of the target folder that stores Data Validation Option mappings, sessions, and workflows.
