Type of repositories can be created using Informatica Repository Manager

Informatica PowerCenter includes following type of repositories:

• Standalone Repository: A repository that functions individually and this is unrelated to any other repositories.

• Global Repository: This is a centralized repository in a domain. This repository can contain shared objects across the repositories in a domain. The objects are shared through global shortcuts.

• Local Repository: Local repository is within a domain and it’s not a global repository. Local repository can connect to a global repository using global shortcuts and can use objects in it’s shared folders.

• Versioned Repository: This can either be local or global repository but it allows version control for the repository. A versioned repository can store multiple copies, or versions of an object. This features allows to efficiently develop, test and deploy metadata in the production environment.
