Before you begin

1Create a directory which is accessible from the domain machine and the secure agent. The user who started the Informatica Domain and Secure Agent must have read, write, and execute permissions on this shared directory location. Create the following folders within the shared directory location:
<SharedDirectoryLocation>\<DomainDisplayName>\<RepositoryName>\Templates
For example, if the name of the CDI-PC repository that you are going to assess is Test_Repo and the display name of the domain is Test_Domain, create the folders in the following format:
<SharedDirectoryLocation>\Test_Domain\Test_Repo\Templates
2Collect the parameter files from your PowerCenter or Data Engineering Integration environment and store them in the ZIP format in the folder created in step 1.
Parameter files are the configuration files that are used for running workflows and sessions present in a repository. Parameter files are optional for assessment.
Note: If your version is April 2024 or newer, the file name for the assessment of PowerCenter repositories should be PC_Parameter.zip. For versions older than April 2024, the file name should be PC_PARAMETER_ZIP.zip. For the assessment of Model repositories, the file name should be MRS_Parameter.zip.
3Create a Repoint configuration. For information on creating a Repoint configuration, see Creating a Repoint configuration.
Currently, you cannot perform only non-repointing assessment of Model repositories.
4Assign the Admin role to the user running the assessment. For any assistance on assigning the Admin role, contact the administrator.
