Test Data Manager Service Overview

The Test Data Manager Service (TDM Service) is an application service in the Informatica domain. The TDM Service is used by Test Data Manager (TDM) to perform data masking, data discovery, data subset, and test data generation tasks through the TDM Workbench. The TDM Workbench accesses the TDM Service and uses the database contents from the TDM repository associated with the service. The TDM repository is a relational database that contains tables that the TDM requires to run and the tables that store metadata about data sources.
Create a TDM Service in the Informatica domain to use the Test Data Manager application. Use the Administrator tool or the infacmd command line program to administer the Test Data Manager Service.
