Client

The Repository Service accepts connection requests from the following PowerCenter applications:

  • PowerCenter - Client. Use the Designer and Workflow Manager to create and store mapping metadata and connection object information in the repository. Use the Workflow Monitor to retrieve workflow run status information and session logs written by the Integration Service. Use the Repository Manager to organize and secure metadata by creating folders, users, and groups.
  • pmrep command line to perform repository metadata administration tasks and service-related functions.
  • PowerCenter - Integration Service. When you start the Integration Service, it connects to the repository to schedule workflows. When you run a workflow, the Integration Service retrieves workflow task and mapping metadata from the repository. The Integration Service writes workflow status to the repository.
  • PowerCenter - Web Services Hub. When you start the Web Services Hub, it connects to the repository to access web-enabled workflows. The Web Services Hub retrieves workflow task and mapping metadata from the repository and writes workflow status to the repository.
  • Powercenter - Sap BW service. Listens for RFC requests from SAP NetWeaver BW and initiates workflows to extract from or load to SAP BW.
