Setting Up Informatica Developer Overview

Before you start the lessons in this tutorial, you must start and set up the Developer tool. To set up the Developer tool, you add a domain. You add a Model repository that is in the domain, and you create a project and folder to store your work. You also select a default Data Integration Service.
The Informatica domain is a collection of nodes and services that define the Informatica environment. Services in the domain include the Model Repository Service and the Data Integration Service.
The Model Repository Service manages the Model repository. The Model repository is a relational database that stores the metadata for projects that you create in the Developer tool. A project stores objects that you create in the Developer tool. A project can also contain folders that store related objects, such as objects that are part of the same business requirement.
The Data Integration Service performs data integration tasks in the Developer tool.
