Connecting to a Repository

Connecting to a Repository

Before you can connect to a repository, you must first add the repository to the Navigator.
To connect to a repository:
  1. Launch a PowerCenter Client tool.
  2. Select the repository in the Navigator and click Repository > Connect, or double-click the repository.
    The Connect to Repository dialog box appears.
  3. Enter the user name and password.
  4. Select Native or the name of a specific security domain.
    The Security Domain field appears when the PowerCenter domain contains an LDAP security domain. If you do not know the security domain that your user account belongs to, contact the PowerCenter domain administrator.
  5. To connect to a repository that you have connected to before, go to step 12.
    To select an existing domain connection for the repository, go to step 10.
    To enter the domain connection information for the repository, complete steps 6 through 9.
  6. If the Connect to Repository dialog box is not expanded, click More to view the connection settings.
  7. Click Add.
    The Add Domain dialog box appears.
  8. 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.
  9. Click OK.
  10. If the connection settings of the Connect to Repository dialog box are hidden, click More to view the connection settings.
  11. In the connection settings, select the appropriate domain connection from the list.
  12. Click Connect.
