PCSF_46008 Cannot connect to domain to look up service coreservices/UserManagementService

Question

I am getting the following error while connecting to Informatica repository: [PCSF_46008] Cannot connect to domain to look up service [coreservices/UserManagementService].

I restart Informatica (10.2.0) in the services, and ORACLE DB is also operational, but I am still unable to access to the repository.

If I reinstall the informatica server & client tools, will I lose all my existing workflow/mapping objects? Any clarification you can provide would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Let me answer the question first -

If I reinstall the informatica server & client tools, will I lose all my existing workflow/mapping objects? Any clarification you can provide would be highly appreciated.

--> No, the repository is stored in oracle DB. Unless you drop oracle DB, repository and domain database will stay. But if you reinstall, informatica configurations like $INFA_HOME, config files .odbc.ini etc. will change ( which is obvious).

Now going back to your real problem - I think informatica need some port numbers to white listed/opened. Also whereever oracle is installed, is it accessable using sql client from informatica server? You can check this - Login using informatica user, open a sql terminal( like sqlplus), and then try to connect to the Oracle DB using informatica metadata user and password.
