Preface
Welcome to PowerCenter Standard and Advanced Edit ion. With these PowerCenter editions,Informatica extends the definition of the base enterprise data integration platform to include
additional, key capabilities such as metadata analysis (Metadata Manager), data-readyreporting (Data Analyzer), server grid, and team-based development to enable comprehensiveend to end data integration solutions.
The PowerCenter repository coordinates and drives a variety of core functions, includingextracting, transforming, loading, and managing data. The Integration Service can extractlarge volumes of data from multiple platforms, handle complex transformations on the data,and support high-speed loads. PowerCenter can simplify and accelerate the process ofbuilding a comprehensive data warehouse from disparate data sources.
Data Analyzer makes accessing, analyzing, and sharing enterprise data simple and easilyavailable to decision makers. Data Analyzer enables you to gain insight into your businessprocesses and develop business intelligence.
Metadata Manager is an enterprise information asset management and analysis solution. Itenables you to analyze and manage metadata from any system. It also enables you to gaininsight into your metadata for impact and content analysis and allows you to view data andinformation flow across systems.

PowerCenter Services 7
PowerCenter Services consists of a Service Manager and application services that run in adomain. A domain is a collection of nodes and services that you can group in folders based on
administration ownership.You create a domain when you first install PowerCenter Services. You can run the installat ionon other machines to add the machines to the domain as nodes. You use the PowerCenter
Adminis tration Console to manage the domain after you insta ll PowerCenter Services.
When you run the installer, you insta ll Informatica Services. Informatica Services runs as aservice on Windows and as a daemon on UNIX. When you start Informatica Services,Informatica Services starts the Service Manager, which manages all domain operations.
For more information about PowerCenter domains, nodes, services, and the AdministrationConsole, see Understanding Domains in the PowerCenterAdministrator Guide.
For more information about using the installer to create a domain or add a node to a domain,see Single or Multiple Machine Installation on page 17.

Metadata Manager uses an application server to manage processes. You can run MetadataManager on one of the following application servers:
JBoss Application Server BEA WebLogic Server
IBM WebSphere Application Server
If you run Metadata Manager on JBoss Application Server, you can install JBoss ApplicationServer with Metadata Manager or use an existing instance of JBoss Application Server.Informatica includes JBoss Application Server version 4.0.3 in the PowerCenter installer.
If you run Metadata Manager on BEA WebLogic Server or IBM WebSphere ApplicationServer, you must obtain and install the application server before you install PowerCenterStandard Edition. The installer does not install BEA WebLogic Server or IBM WebSphere
Application Server.
For more information about application server prerequisites for Metadata Manager, seeApplication Servers on page 40.
Metadata Manager XConnects are a set of PowerCenter workflows that Metadata Manager
uses to extract metadata from sources and load into the Metadata Manager repository. Theworkflows are stored in the PowerCenter repository. You use the Metadata ManagerConfiguration Console to run the XConnects to load metadata to the Metadata Managerrepository. Metadata Manager XConnects are installed when you install Metadata Manager.
When you install Metadata Manager, the PowerCenter installer can create a PowerCenterrepository or connect to an existing PowerCenter repository to store the XConnect workflows.It creates a Metadata Manager folder in the PowerCenter repository to store the XConnect
workflows that you run from the Metadata Manager Configuration Console.
If you perform a complete installation of PowerCenter Advanced Edition, the installer usesthe PowerCenter repository as the PowerCenter repository for Metadata Manager. You mustcreate a separate database and user account for another PowerCenter repository and create aRepository Service when you configure the application services.
Note: The PowerCenter repository that stores the Metadata Manager XConnects is called theIntegration repository in the Metadata Manager documentation.
