Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC) interacts with Informatica Server using what
command?
Ans: A (pmcmd)
Ignore most of the inbuilt answers.
Like this one that chose “D” as the answer is so wrong.
infasetup does not exist anywhere in Oracle manuals or training handouts.
Most of the Answers given in comments are correct.
But you still need knowledge of OBIEE, BI APPS, DAC & Informatica to be sure.
Some questions can only be answered with practical experience.
Another example of a horribly written question on Oracle exams. This is straight from the DW Admin Console User Guide, E12652-02. “DAC sends the Informatica repository and server passwords un-encrypted when communicating with Informatica through pmcmd and pmrep commands”. There is additional references to only pmcmd being used when issuing commands, so I’m going with that answer….A.
DAC use both pmrep and pmcmd to interects with Informatica, from Oracle Documentation:
“DAC Server uses
pmrep to communicate with PowerCenter Repository Services.
pmcmd to communicate with PowerCenter Integration Services to run the Informatica workflows.
DAC Client uses
pmrep to synchronize tasks with Informatica workflows and to keep the DAC task source and target tables information up to date.”
In this case the answer shold be A and B but the question say command not commands.
There is two oracle documents about the comunication between DAC SERVER,
1. Its the documentation of the installations.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14223_01/bia.796/e14217/windows_ic.htm#BABJHCEE
“The DAC Server uses the following command line programs to communicate with Informatica PowerCenter:
pmrep is used to communicate with PowerCenter Repository Services.
pmcmd is used to communicate with PowerCenter Integration Services to run the Informatica workflows.”
It says DAC user two COMMANDS PMREP y PMCMD
2. Its about the topology.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35287_01/fusionapps.7964/e14849/dac_security.htm#CDDGDCFD
in the section “DAC Authentication in Standalone Mode”
It you see the topology, you can realize that DAC dont use PMREP. DAC uses TCP/IP to communicate directly with INFORMATICA REPOSITORY.
It a pretty confusing but anyway if i were in the exam i choose letter A. PMCMD
