Before you can create and run jobs in a CDI-PC domain or monitor the domain from Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, you need to register the domain. When you register the domain, you link the on-premises domain with the cloud and establish communication between them.
If you created the domain from the backup of a domain that you previously registered, by running the restoreDomain command, you might encounter a validation error when you register the domain. To avoid this error, include the following advanced option and set it to true when you run the restoreDomain command:-cdr true
The -cdr option uses the argument clear_cloud_registration_info_from_domain_repository and clears the registration details from the domain repository when set to true.
By appending the -cdr option to the restoreDomain command, you can register both the original domain and the back up domain to the same POD. Without the -cdr option, you can't register both domains in the same POD.
To backup a domain that's not registered with Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, you can use the restoreDomain command without the -cdr option.
If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, you must import the TLS certificates of the Administrator tool and the domain into the browser before you can register or perform any tasks that require domain authentication. The operating system user and the domain administrator user must be the same, because the operating system user details are used to authenticate with the domain. The user logged in to the system from where you open the browser must be a domain admin user and must be in the Active Directory configured to the domain.
1Log in to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services and select Cloud Data Integration for PowerCenter (CDI-PC).
2On the Home page, click the Add New Domain button on the Register a Domain section.
You can also open the Explore page from the navigation panel and click the Add New Domain button.
3Enter the general properties.
The following table lists the properties that you enter:
Property
Description
Domain Name
The name of the CDI-PC domain that you want to register.
Domain Display Name
A display name for the CDI-PC domain. By default, the display name is the same as the domain name. You can update the name if needed. The name can be different from the domain name, but the name must be unique in the organization.
Gateway Host
Host name of the gateway node machine.
Gateway Node Port
HTTPS port used by the gateway node.
Description
Optional. A description of the domain.
4In the Secure Agent Details section, enter the name of the Secure Agent group.
Secure Agents in the group require access to the domain.
5In the Domain Security Details section, choose the authentication type.
Choose Kerberos if the domain that you are registering uses Kerberos authentication.
6In you choose non-Kerberos, enter the name of the security domain and the domain Administrator user name. If you choose Kerberos, enter the security domain. The service uses the operating system logged-in user details of the system from where you register the domain.
7Click Validate to validate the details.
Note: If the validation fails with a Read timed out error, retry validation.
8When validation succeeds, click Register to register the domain.
If there is a break in connectivity, the domain might remain in Registering state indefinitely. Wait for at least 15 minutes and then click the Refresh button to refresh the information. If the domain status appears as offline, reconcile the domain status.
For information about reconciling a domain, see Reconcile a domain status in Domain Monitoring.
After you register a domain, you can monitor the domain from the Explore page and view detailed information on the Domain Details page.
