Informatica Domain

The Informatica domain is a server component that hosts application services, such as the

Model Repository Service, cluster configuration for an existing configuration, cloud provisioning configuration for an autodeployed configuration,

and

Data Integration Service

. These services, together with domain clients, enable you to create and run mappings and other objects to extract, transform, and write data.

Application Services

The Informatica domain includes the following application services:

Model Repository Service: Manages the Model repository. The Model repository stores metadata created by Informatica products in a relational database to enable collaboration among the products. Informatica Developer, the Data Integration Service, and the Administrator tool store metadata in the Model repository.
Data Integration Service: Performs data integration tasks for the Developer tool and for external clients.
Content Management Service: Manages reference data and is responsible for compiling rule specifications into mapplets. The Content Management Service provides reference data information to the Data Integration Service and to the Developer tool and Analyst tool. The Content Management Service stores reference data in a database that you specify.
Analyst Service: Manages the connection between the service components and the users who log in to Analyst tool. You can perform column and rule profiling, manage scorecards, and manage bad records and duplicate records in the Analyst tool. The Analyst Service stores profiling, scorecarding, and bad and duplicate record data in databases that you specify.

Domain Repositories

Informatica repositories, hosted on Microsoft SQL Server databases, store metadata about domain objects. The Informatica domain includes the following repositories:

Domain configuration repository: The domain configuration repository stores configuration metadata about the Informatica domain. It also stores user privileges and permissions.
Model repository: Stores metadata for projects and folders and their contents, including all repository objects such as mappings and workflows. For more information, see the Model Repository Service documentation.

Application Service Databases

The Informatica domain and the application services use a series of databases to store information. You must set up the databases with the database names and user names that the domain and the services expect.

To read a list of the database names and user names that you must apply to the databases, see Database Account and User Details.
