Understanding DomainsThis chapter includes the following topics: Understanding Domains Overview, 1 Nodes, 2 Service Manager, 2 Application Services, 4 High Availability, 7

Understanding Domains OverviewInformatica has a service-oriented architecture that provides the ability to scale services and share resources across multiple machines. High availability functionality helps minimize service downtime due to unexpected failures or scheduled maintenance in the Informatica environment.The Informatica domain is the fundamental administrative unit in Informatica. The domain supports the administration of the distributed services. A domain is a collection of nodes and services that you can group in folders based on administration ownership.A node is the logical representation of a machine in a domain. One node in the domain acts as a gateway to receive service requests from clients and route them to the appropriate service and node. Services and processes run on nodes in a domain. The availability of a service or process on a node depends on how you configure the service and the node.Services for the domain include the Service Manager and a set of application services: Service Manager. A service that manages all domain operations. It runs the application services and

performs domain functions on each node in the domain. Some domain functions include authentication, authorization, and logging.

Application Services. Services that represent server-based functionality, such as the Model Repository Service and the Data Integration Service. The application services that run on a node depend on the way you configure the services.

The Service Manager and application services control security. The Service Manager manages users and groups that can log in to application clients and authenticates the users who log in to the application clients. The Service Manager and application services authorize user requests from application clients.Informatica Administrator (the Administrator tool), consolidates the administrative tasks for domain objects such as services, nodes, licenses, and grids. You manage the domain and the security of the domain through the Administrator tool.

If you have the PowerCenter high availability option, you can scale services and eliminate single points of failure for services. Services can continue running despite temporary network or hardware failures.

NodesDuring installation, you add the installation machine to the domain as a node. You can add multiple nodes to a domain. Each node in the domain runs a Service Manager that manages domain operations on that node. The operations that the Service Manager performs depend on the type of node. A node can be a gateway node or a worker node. You can subscribe to alerts to receive notification about node events such as node failure or a master gateway election. You can also generate and upload node diagnostics to the Configuration Support Manager and review information such as available EBFs and Informatica recommendations.

Gateway NodesA gateway node is any node that you configure to serve as a gateway for the domain. One node acts as the gateway at any given time. That node is called the master gateway. A gateway node can run application services, and it can serve as a master gateway node. The master gateway node is the entry point to the domain.The Service Manager on the master gateway node performs all domain operations on the master gateway node. The Service Managers running on other gateway nodes perform limited domain operations on those nodes.You can configure more than one node to serve as a gateway. If the master gateway node becomes unavailable, the Service Manager on other gateway nodes elect another master gateway node. If you configure one node to serve as the gateway and the node becomes unavailable, the domain cannot accept service requests.

Worker NodesA worker node is any node not configured to serve as a gateway. A worker node can run application services, but it cannot serve as a gateway. The Service Manager performs limited domain operations on a worker node.

Service ManagerThe Service Manager is a service that manages all domain operations. It runs within Informatica services. It runs as a service on Windows and as a daemon on UNIX. When you start Informatica services, you start the Service Manager.The Service Manager runs on each node. If the Service Manager is not running, the node is not available.The Service Manager runs on all nodes in the domain to support application services and the domain: Application service support. The Service Manager on each node starts application services configured to

run on that node. It starts and stops services and service processes based on requests from clients. It also directs service requests to application services. The Service Manager uses TCP/IP to communicate with the application services.

2 Chapter 1: Understanding Domains

Domain support. The Service Manager performs functions on each node to support the domain. The functions that the Service Manager performs on a node depend on the type of node. For example, the Service Manager running on the master gateway node performs all domain functions on that node. The Service Manager running on any other node performs some domain functions on that node.

The following table describes the domain functions that the Service Manager performs:

Function Description

Alerts The Service Manager sends alerts to subscribed users.You subscribe to alerts to receive notification for node failure and master gateway election on the domain, and for service process failover for services on the domain. When you subscribe to alerts, you receive notification emails.

Authentication The Service Manager authenticates users who log in to application clients. Authentication occurs on the master gateway node.

Authorization The Service Manager authorizes user requests for domain objects based on the privileges, roles, and permissions assigned to the user.Requests can come from the Administrator tool. Domain authorization occurs on the master gateway node. Some application services authorize user requests for other objects.

Domain Configuration The Service Manager manages the domain configuration metadata.Domain configuration occurs on the master gateway node.

Node Configuration The Service Manager manages node configuration metadata in the domain. Node configuration occurs on all nodes in the domain.

Licensing The Service Manager registers license information and verifies license information when you run application services.Licensing occurs on the master gateway node.

Logging The Service Manager provides accumulated log events from each service in the domain and for sessions and workflows. To perform the logging function, the Service Manager runs a Log Manager and a Log Agent.The Log Manager runs on the master gateway node. The Log Agent runs on all nodes where the PowerCenter Integration Service runs.

Service Manager 3

Function Description

User Management The Service Manager manages the native and LDAP users and groups that can log in to application clients. It also manages the creation of roles and the assignment of roles and privileges to native and LDAP users and groups. User management occurs on the master gateway node.

Monitoring The Service Manager persists, updates, retrieves, and publishes run-time statistics for integration objects in the Model repository. The Service Manager stores the monitoring configuration in the domain configuration repository.

Application ServicesApplication services represent server-based functionality. Application services include the following services: Analyst Service Content Management Service Data Director Service Data Integration Service Metadata Manager Service Model Repository Service PowerCenter Integration Service PowerCenter Repository Service PowerExchange Listener Service PowerExchange Logger Service Reporting Service Reporting and Dashboards Service Test Data Manager Service SAP BW Service Web Services HubWhen you configure an application service, you designate a node to run the service process. When a service process runs, the Service Manager assigns a port number from the range of port numbers assigned to the node.The service process is the runtime representation of a service running on a node. The service type determines how many service processes can run at a time. For example, the PowerCenter Integration Service can run multiple service processes at a time when you run it on a grid.If you have the high availability option, you can run a service on multiple nodes. Designate the primary node to run the service. All other nodes are backup nodes for the service. If the primary node is not available, the service runs on a backup node. You can subscribe to alerts to receive notification in the event of a service process failover.

4 Chapter 1: Understanding Domains

If you do not have the high availability option, configure a service to run on one node. If you assign multiple nodes, the service will not start.

Analyst ServiceThe Analyst Service is an application service that runs the Informatica Analyst application in the Informatica domain. The Analyst Service manages the connections between service components and the users that have access to Informatica Analyst. The Analyst Service has connections to a Data Integration Service, Model Repository Service, the Informatica Analyst application, staging database, and a flat file cache location.You can use the Administrator tool to administer the Analyst Service. You can create and recycle an Analyst Service in the Informatica domain to access the Analyst tool. You can launch the Analyst tool from the Administrator tool.

Content Management ServiceThe Content Management Service is an application service that manages reference data. It provides reference data information to the Data Integration Service and to the Developer tool.The Content Management Service provides reference data properties to the Data Integration Service. The Data Integration Service uses these properties when it runs mappings that require address reference data.The Content Management Service also provides Developer tool transformations with information about the address reference data and identity populations installed in the file system. The Developer tool displays the installed address reference datasets in the Content Status view within application preferences. The Developer tool displays the installed identity populations in the Match transformation and Comparison transformation.

Data Director ServiceThe Data Director Service is an application service that runs the Informatica Data Director for Data Quality web application in the Informatica domain.A data analyst uses Informatica Data Director for Data Quality to perform manual review and update operations in database tables. A data analyst logs in to Informatica Data Director for Data Quality when assigned an instance of a Human task. A Human task is a task in a workflow that specifies user actions in an Informatica application.The Data Director Service connects to a Data Integration Service. You configure a Human Task Service module in the Data Integration Service so that the Data Integration Service can start a Human task in a workflow.

Data Integration ServiceThe Data Integration Service is an application service that performs data integration tasks for Informatica Analyst, Informatica Developer, and external clients. Data integration tasks include previewing data and running profiles, SQL data services, web services, and mappings.When you start a command from the command line or an external client to run SQL data services and mappings in an application, the command sends the request to the Data Integration Service.

Metadata Manager ServiceThe Metadata Manager Service is an application service that runs the Metadata Manager application and manages connections between the Metadata Manager components.

Application Services 5

Use Metadata Manager to browse and analyze metadata from disparate source repositories. You can load, browse, and analyze metadata from application, business intelligence, data integration, data modelling, and relational metadata sources.You can configure the Metadata Manager Service to run on only one node. The Metadata Manager Service is not a highly available service. However, you can run multiple Metadata Manager Services on the same node.

Model Repository ServiceThe Model Repository Service is an application service that manages the Model repository. The Model repository is a relational database that stores the metadata for projects created in Informatica Analyst and Informatica Developer. The Model repository also stores run-time and configuration information for applications that are deployed to a Data Integration Service.You can configure the Model Repository Service to run on one node. The Model Repository Service is not a highly available service. However, you can run multiple Model Repository Services on the same node. If the Model Repository Service fails, it automatically restarts on the same node.

PowerCenter Integration ServiceThe PowerCenter Integration Service runs PowerCenter sessions and workflows. When you configure the PowerCenter Integration Service, you can specify where you want it to run: On a grid. When you configure the service to run on a grid, it can run on multiple nodes at a time. The

PowerCenter Integration Service dispatches tasks to available nodes assigned to the grid. If you do not have the high availability option, the task fails if any service process or node becomes unavailable. If you have the high availability option, failover and recovery is available if a service process or node becomes unavailable.

On nodes. If you have the high availability option, you can configure the service to run on multiple nodes. By default, it runs on the primary node. If the primary node is not available, it runs on a backup node. If the service process fails or the node becomes unavailable, the service fails over to another node. If you do not have the high availability option, you can configure the service to run on one node.

PowerCenter Repository ServiceThe PowerCenter Repository Service manages the PowerCenter repository. It retrieves, inserts, and updates metadata in the repository database tables. If the service process fails or the node becomes unavailable, the service fails.If you have the high availability option, you can configure the service to run on primary and backup nodes. By default, the service process runs on the primary node. If the service process fails, a new process starts on the same node. If the node becomes unavailable, a service process starts on one of the backup nodes.

PowerExchange Listener ServiceThe PowerExchange Listener Service is an application service that manages the PowerExchange Listener. The PowerExchange Listener manages communication between a PowerCenter or
