Set up Informatica Developer to access Model repository objects. Select a Data Integration Service to preview data and run profiles, mappings, and workflows.
To set up the Developer tool, complete the following tasks:
- 1. Add a domain.
- 2. Add a Model repository.
- 3. If the domain includes more than one Data Integration Service, select a default service.
After you set up the Developer tool, you can create projects and folders to store your work.
Step 1. Add a Domain
Add a domain in the Developer tool to access services that run on the domain.
Before you add a domain, verify that you have a domain name, host name, and port number to connect to a domain. You can get this information from an administrator.
1. Click Window > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Select Informatica > Domains.
3. Click Add.
The New Domain dialog box appears.
4. Enter the domain name, host name, and port number.
5. Click Finish.
6. Click OK.
Step 2. Add a Model Repository
Add a Model repository to access projects and folders.
Before you add a Model repository, verify the following prerequisites:
- •An administrator has configured a Model Repository Service in the Administrator tool.
- •You have a user name and password to access the Model Repository Service. You can get this information from an administrator.
1. Click File > Connect to Repository.
The Connect to Repository dialog box appears.
2. Click Browse to select a Model Repository Service.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Next.
5. Enter your user name and password.
6. Click Next.
The Open Project dialog box appears.

8. Click Finish.
The Model Repository appears in the Object Explorer view and displays the projects that you chose to open.
Step 3. Select a Default Data Integration Service
The Data Integration Service performs data integration tasks in the Developer tool. If the domain includes more than one Data Integration Service, select a default service. You can override the default Data Integration Service when you run a mapping or preview data.
Note: If the domain contains only one Data Integration Service, this step is optional.
Add a domain before you select a Data Integration Service.
1. Click Window > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Select Informatica > Data Integration Services.
3. Expand the domain.
