Power Center Client

Power Center Client - 

                       The PowerCenter Client consists of the following applications that you use to manage the repository, design mappings, mapplets, and create sessions to load the data:

Repository Server Administration Console. Use the Repository Server Administration console to administer the Repository Servers and repositories.

Repository Manager. Use the Repository Manager to administer the metadata repository. You can create repository users and groups, assign privileges and permissions, and manage folders and locks.

Designer. Use the Designer to create mappings that contain transformation instructions for the PowerCenter Server. Before you can create mappings, you must add source and target definitions to the repository. 

The Designer has five tools that you use to analyze sources, design target schemas, and build source-to-target mappings:

• Source Analyzer. Import or create source definitions.

• Warehouse Designer. Import or create target definitions.

• Transformation Developer. Develop reusable transformations to use in mappings.

• Mapplet Designer. Create sets of transformations to use in mappings.

• Mapping Designer. Create mappings that the Power Center Server uses to extract, transform, and load data.

Workflow Manager. Use the Workflow Manager to create, schedule, and run workflows. A workflow is a set of instructions that describes how and when to run tasks related to extracting, transforming, and loading data. 

                The Power Center Server runs workflow tasks according to the links connecting the tasks. You can run a task by placing it in a workflow.

Workflow Monitor. Use the Workflow Monitor to monitor scheduled and running workflows for each Power Center Server. You can choose a Gantt Chart or Task view. You can also access details about those workflow runs.

              Install the client tools on a Microsoft Windows machine. For more information about installation requirements, see Minimum System Requirements.
