To connect to a Metadata Manager repository, the Metadata Manager Service requires a JDBC driver. The Custom Metadata Configurator uses a JDBC driver to connect to the Metadata Manager repository.
JDBC drivers are installed with the Informatica services and the Informatica clients. You can use the installed JDBC drivers to connect to the Metadata Manager repository.
The Informatica installers do not install ODBC drivers or the JDBC-ODBC bridge for the Metadata Manager Service.
