Setting Up the Informatica Server and Informatica Repository Server

After the Informatica Server is installed, you must configure it before you can start it, by doing the following:

• Setting up the Informatica Server in Informatica PowerCenter. For more information, see Process Of Setting Up The Informatica Server.
• Setting up the Informatica Repository Server in Informatica PowerCenter. For more information, see Process Of Setting Up The Informatica Repository Server.
• Copy source files and lookup files from the Oracle BI Applications installation folder to the Informatica folder. For more information, see Process of Copying Source Files and Lookup Files.
• After you have created the Informatica repository (for more information, see Process of Configuring and Managing the Informatica Repository), start the Informatica Services. For more information, see Process of Starting the Informatica Services.
• Create the required ODBC Database Connections. For more information, see Process of Creating ODBC Database Connections.

Make note of the settings you enter in the Server tab and Repository tab of the Configure Informatica Service window; you will need to enter the same settings in other configuration steps.

TIP:   Keep a record of the Informatica Server details that you specify here, and use the same details when you register the Informatica servers in the DAC (for more information, see Registering Informatica Servers in the DAC Client).

NOTE:  Throughout this guide, the name Oracle_BI_DW_Base is used for the Informatica repository (the file \dwrep\Informatica\Repository\Oracle_BI_DW_Base.rep). However, you can use a different name if required, and have more than one version of this file if you have more than one development environment.
