Application Services

Application Services

Application services are a group of services that represent Informatica server-based functionality.
In the
Services and Nodes
 view on the
Manage
 tab, you can create and manage the following application services:
Analyst Service
Runs Informatica Analyst in the Informatica domain. The Analyst Service manages the connections between service components and the users that log in to Informatica Analyst.
The Analyst Service connects to a Data Integration Service, a Model Repository Service, a Metadata Manager Service, and a Search Service. The Analyst Service also specifies a flat file cache directory and flat file network directory, a directory for business glossary export files, and an exception management audit database.
You can create and recycle the Analyst Service in the Informatica domain to access the Analyst tool. You can launch the Analyst tool from the Administrator tool.
When you select an Analyst Service in the Navigator, the contents panel displays the following information:
  • Properties
     view. View the state of the service and the URL for the Analyst Service. Manage general, model repository, data integration, human task, metadata manager, flat file cache, flat file network, business glossary export, logging, and custom properties.
  • Processes
     view. View the state of the service process on each node. View and edit service process properties on each assigned node.
  • Permissions
     view. View or edit the group and user permissions on the Analyst Service.
