Domain Management Overview
An Informatica domain is a collection of nodes and services that define the Informatica environment. To manage the domain, you manage the nodes and services within the domain.
Use the Administrator tool to complete the following tasks:
- •Manage alerts. Configure, enable, and disable domain and service alerts for users.
- •Create folders. Create folders to organize domain objects and manage security by setting permission on folders.
- •Manage domain security. Configure secure communication between domain components.
- •Manage user security. Assign privileges and permissions to users and groups.
- •Manage application services. Enable, disable, recycle, and remove application services. Enable and disable service processes.
- •Manage nodes. Configure node properties, such as the backup directory and resources, and shut down nodes.
- •Configure gateway nodes. Configure nodes to serve as a gateway.
- •Shut down the domain. Shut down the domain to complete administrative tasks on the domain.
- •Manage domain configuration. Back up the domain configuration on a regular basis. You might need to restore the domain configuration from a backup to migrate the configuration to another database user account. You might also need to reset the database information for the domain configuration if it changes.
- •Complete domain tasks. You can monitor the statuses of all application services and nodes, view dependencies among application services and nodes, and shut down the domain.
- •Configure domain properties. For example, you can change the database properties, SMTP properties for alerts, and domain resiliency properties.
To manage nodes and services through a single interface, all nodes and services must be in the same domain. You cannot access multiple Informatica domains in the same Administrator tool window. You can share metadata between domains when you register or unregister a local repository in the local Informatica domain with a global repository in another Informatica domain.
