Process of Starting the Informatica Services

After you have installed Informatica PowerCenter, you might need to start the Informatica services manually. The Informatica services must be running to enable you to access the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse using the Informatica tools.

You need to configure the Informatica repository before you start the Informatica services (for more information, see Process of Configuring and Managing the Informatica Repository).

To start the Informatica Services

1. Display the Windows Services dialog.

   For example, on Windows XP, display the Control Panel, then double click the Services icon to display the Services dialog.

   
2. Start the Informatica Repository Server service.
3. Start the Informatica service.

If you start the Informatica service and the Informatica Repository Server service is not running, the Informatica service will fail.
