Registering Informatica Servers in the DAC Client


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

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 register Informatica servers in the DAC client

  1. Launch the DAC client.
  2. Click Setup on the DAC toolbar, and then click the Informatica Servers tab.
  3. Enter the following information:
    Field
    Enter

    Name

    Logical name for the Informatica server.

    Server Host Name

    Informatica server host name or IP address.

    Port

    Port where the Informatica server connects for requests. (The default port number is 4001. It is recommended that you use the default port number.)

    Login

    Informatica user name who has appropriate privileges to execute workflows.

    Password

    Informatica user password.

    Maximum Sessions

    Maximum number of workflows that can be executed in parallel on the Informatica server. If the number of sessions is zero or is not specified, the DAC server assigns the default value of five for the DAC Lite version and 10 for the full DAC version. The DAC Lite version cannot run more than five sessions in parallel.

    For information about how to determine this setting, see Determining the Informatica Server Maximum Sessions Parameter Setting.

    Inactive

    Indicates whether the Informatica server is active or inactive.
