Informatica and DAC Server Connectivity

Informatica and DAC Server Connectivity

The DAC Server requires access to the following Informatica command line programs:

• pmrep. For communicating with the Informatica Repository Service to query the sessions associated with a workflow.
• pmcmd. For communicating with the Informatica Integration Service in order to start and stop the Informatica workflows as well as collect statistics for the workflow.

To ensure DAC has access to pmrep and pmcmd, do one of the following:

• Co-locate the DAC Server and Informatica on the same machine.
• Make the Informatica binary files accessible on a shared network drive.
• Copy the Informatica\PowerCenter<version number>\CMD_Utilities directory to the machine where the DAC Server is installed

Informatica and DAC Client Connectivity

The DAC Client requires access to pmrep in order to synchronize tasks with Informatica workflows and to keep the DAC task source and target tables information up to date. You can either co-locate the Informatica client tools and the DAC Client on the same machine, or you can install the Informatica client tools as a shared network resource.
