The Power Center domain is the primary logical unit for management and administration within PowerCenter.
The service manager runs on a PowerCenter domain. The Service Manager supports :
PowerCenter has a service-oriented architecture that provides the ability to scale services and share resources across multiple machines.

A domain is the primary unit for management and administration of services in Informatica product.
A domain contains the following components:
A nodes runs service processes, which is the runtime representation of an application service running on a node.
You can use the PowerCenter - Administration Console to manage the domain.
If you have the high availability option, you can scale services and eliminate single points of failure for services. The Service Manager and application services can continue running despite temporary network or hardware failures. High availability includes resilience, failover, and recovery for services and tasks in a domain.
This Figure shows a sample domain with three nodes:
Powercenter - Infacmd command line tool
infacmd.sh ping -dn DOMAIN_EIC_01
[INFACMD_10052] Domain [DOMAIN_EIC_01] Host:Port [HI-INFA-EIC-01:6005] was successfully pinged.
[INFACMD_10470] Kerberos authentication is [disabled] and secure communication is [disabled] in the Informatica domain [DOMAIN_EIC_01].
Command ran successfully.
Before using the command line programs, you can configure the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN to set the default domain.
