Preface

Chapter 11. The Deployment Phase - Using Repository Manager

In the previous chapter, we discussed the different functionalities of the PowerCenter Designer, Workflow Manager, and Workflow Monitor screen. At this stage, we have all the knowledge of the various components of the Informatica PowerCenter tool. We are left with the last client tool, that is PowerCenter Repository Manager. Repository Manager is not used for coding but used for certain administration related work and the deployment of power center components such as mapping, workflow, and so on. In this chapter, you will learn how to create and configure the domain and repository that we created in the Informatica Administrator console. Also, you will learn about the migration or deployment process we follow to migrate the code in Informatica PowerCenter.
