Repository
Repository is the component that stores the metadata that is created when you work on cli-
ent tools. The following points describe a repository:
• It is a centralized database of Informatica PowerCenter, which is used to store
metadata.
• Repository is created in the database, which is used for installation purposes. In
our case, the repository will be configured in Oracle Database under an
HR
Oracle
user.
• Multiple repositories can be created under a domain with each repository repres-
enting a single environment. For example, the
REPO_DEV
repository represents
the development environment,
REPO_TEST
represents the test environment, and
REPO_PROD
represents the production environment.
