TDM Architecture

TDM Architecture

The TDM architecture consists of tools, the TDM server, the Test Data Manager Service and other application services, and databases.
The following image shows the components of TDM:
The Test Data Manager is the TDM tools component. TDM also uses the Informatica Developer Tool, Informatica Administrator, and PowerCenter Client. The application services are Model Repository Service, Data Integration Service, PowerCenter Repository Service, PowerCenter Integration Service, and Test Data Manager Service. The profiling databases are the Model repository and profiling warehouse. The PowerCenter databases are the Domain Configuration Repository and PowerCenter repositories.
The TDM architecture consists of the tools that you use to modify the data.
The TDM architecture includes the following components.
Test Data Manager
A web-based client application that you can use to configure data masking, data subset, data generation, and profiles for data discovery. You can also configure connections, and manage project permissions for users and user groups.
Informatica Developer
A client application that you use to create and export profiles for data discovery.
Informatica Administrator
A web-based client that a domain administrator uses to manage application services and create users and user groups.
PowerCenter Client
A client application that you use to configure permissions on folders and on connection objects for the PowerCenter repository.
TDM Server
The TDM server is the interface between Test Data Manager and the application services.
Data Integration Service
An application service that performs the data discovery operations. The Data Integration Service connects to the Model Repository Service to store metadata from data discovery profiles in the Model repository. When you create a Data Integration Service in the Administrator tool, you select the Data Profiling warehouse to store data from data discovery profiles.
Model Repository Service
An application service that manages the Model repository for data discovery operations.
PowerCenter Integration Service
An application service that runs data subset, data generation, and data masking workflows. When you create the Test Data Manager Service in the Informatica Administrator, you select the PowerCenter Integration Service that runs the workflows.
PowerCenter Repository Service
An application service that manages the PowerCenter repository. The PowerCenter Repository Service accepts requests from the PowerCenter Integration Service when a workflow runs.
Test Data Manager Service
An application service that creates and manages the TDM repository. The Test Data Manager accesses the Test Data Manager Service to use database content from the TDM repository.
TDM repository
A relational database that contains tables that TDM requires to run and the tables that store metadata.
Model repository
A relational database that stores table metadata for data discovery profiles and the connections that you create in Test Data Manager.
PowerCenter repository
A relational database that stores metadata for PowerCenter sources and targets. The PowerCenter repository also stores metadata for the workflows that you generate from plans in Test Data Manager.
Profiling warehouse
A relational database that stores profile results for data discovery.
Domain configuration repository
A relational database that stores connections and metadata for the Informatica domain.
