Registering Informatica Servers

This section describes registering the Informatica servers in the DAC and specifying the number of workflows that can be executed in parallel. The DAC server automatically load balances across the severs and does not run more than the value specified for each of them. You can perform these tasks in the Informatica Servers tab in the Setup View of the DAC client.

You need to register at least one Informatica server. You should register one Informatica server for each Informatica repository.

The DAC server uses pmcmd to run the Informatica workflows on the Informatica servers. Make sure the path to the directory in which the Informatica server is installed is added to the DAC server system properties.

NOTE: It is recommended that the Informatica Server be installed on the machine where the DAC server is installed. If a machine is running only the DAC client, it does not need an Informatica server installed.

To access the Informatica Servers tab

Launch the DAC client by double-clicking the startclient.bat file in the DAC directory or by running startclient from a command prompt.
Click Setup on the DAC toolbar, and then click the Informatica Servers tab.

Table 12 provides a description of the Informatica server properties.
