application clients.
The Informatica domain contains the following components:
• Application cl ients. A group of clients that you use to access underlying Informatica functionality. Application cl ients make requests to the Service Manager or application services.
• Application services. A group of services that represent server-based functionality. An Informatica domain
can contain a subset of application services. You create and configure the application services that the
application clients require.
Application services include system services that can have a single instance in the domain. When you
create the domain, the system services are created for you. You can configure and enable a system
service to use the functionality that the service provides.
• Profile warehouse. A relational database that the Data Integration Service uses to store profile results.
• Repositories. A group of relational databases that store metadata about objects and processes required to
handle user r equests from application clients.
• Service Manager. A service that is built in to the domain to manage all domain operations. The ServiceManager runs the application services and performs domain functions including authentication,
authorization, and logging.

Using Informatica Administrator
Informatica Administrator (the Administrator tool) is the tool you use to manage and monitor the Informatica
domain and Informatica security.
Use the Administrator tool to complete the following types of tasks:
• Domain administrative tasks. Manage logs, domain objects, user permissions, and domain reports.
Generate and upload node diagnostics. Monitor Data Integration Service jobs and applications. Domain
objects include application services, nodes, grids, folders, database connections, operating system
profiles, and licenses.
• Security administrative tasks. Manage users, groups, roles, and privileges.

• Task 3. Create a Data Integration Service, 24
• Task 4. Create an Analyst Service, 27
• Creating Application Services Summary, 29
Creating Application Services Overview
Use the Administrator tool to create application services.
Application services provide the functionali ty for the Informatica domain operations. Create the fol lowing
application services for use with the Analyst tool:
• Model Repository Service. The Model Repository Service manages the Model repository. The Analyst
tool, Data Integration Service, and Administrator tool store metadata in the Model repository.
• Data Integration Service. The Data Integration Service is an application service that performs data
integration tasks for the Analyst tool and other external clients.
• Analyst Service. The Analyst Service is an application service that runs the Analyst tool. The Analyst
Service manages the connections between service components and the users who access the Analyst
tool.
You associate a Data Integration Service with a profiling warehouse and a data object cache database. When
you create these application services, you select connections to these databases. A database connection is a
domain object that contains connectivity information for a relational database. You create the connection
objects before you create the Data Integration Service and Analyst Service.
Story
An administrator at HypoStores needs to create application services. An analyst needs a Model Repository
Service, Data Integration Service, and Analyst Service to use the Analyst tool.
