Before you create the application services, you must prepare the following databases:

PowerCenter repository database
Model repository database
Profiling warehouse

You must create the following application services:

PowerCenter Repository Service
PowerCenter Integration Service
Model Repository Service
Data Integration Service
Content Management Service
Analyst Service

Some application services depend on other application services. When you create these dependent application services, you must provide the name of other running application services. Review the application service dependencies to determine the order that you must create the services. For example, you must create a Model Repository Service before you create a Data Integration Service.

Before you create the application services, verify that you have completed the prerequisite tasks required by the installation and configuration process.
