Informetica PowerCenter 8.x Architecture
The PowerCenter domain is the fundamental administrative
unit in PowerCenter. The domain supports the administration of the distributed
services. A domain is a collection of nodes and services that you can group in
folders based on administration ownership.
A node is the logical representation of a machine in a
domain. One node in the domain acts as a gateway to receive service requests
from clients and route them to the appropriate service and node. Services and
processes run on nodes in a domain. The availability of a service or process on
a node depends on how you configure the service and the node.
Services for the domain include the Service Manager and a
set of application services:
Service Manager. A
service that manages all domain operations. It runs the application services
and performs domain functions on each node in the domain. Some domain functions
include authentication, authorization, and logging. For more information about
the Service Manager, see Service Manager.
Application services. Services that represent PowerCenter server-based functionality,
such as the Repository Service and the Integration Service. The application
services that runs on a node depend on the way you configure the services.
