Setting Up Informatica Analyst Overview

Before you start the lessons in this tutorial, you must set up the Analyst tool. To set up the Analyst tool, log in to the Analyst tool and create a project and a folder to store your work.

The Informatica domain is a collection of nodes and services that define the Informatica environment. Services in the domain include the Analyst Service and the Model Repository Service. The Analyst Service runs the Analyst tool, and the Model Repository Service manages the Model repository. When you work in the Analyst tool, the Analyst tool stores the assets that you create in the Model repository.

You must create a project before you can create assets in the Analyst tool. A project contains assets in the Analyst tool. A project can also contain folders that store related assets, such as data objects that are part of the same business requirement.
