The 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, Informatica Analyst, Data Integration Service, and the Administrator tool store metadata in the Model repository.

You can configure a Model repository as a monitoring Model repository. You can then set up a monitoring Model Repository Service for the monitoring Model repository. The monitoring Model Repository Service monitors statistics for Data Integration Service jobs. You configure the monitoring Model Repository Service in the domain properties.

Create one Model Repository Service for each Model repository. When you create a Model Repository Service, you can create a Model repository or use an existing Model repository. You can run multiple Model Repository Services on the same node.
