The Administration Console - configuration

The Informatica administration home page is the single place where all Informatica components can be created and configured. The Administration Console home page opens in the web browser. It does not require an internet connection. You can use any browser to open the admin console. You might need to check the browser settings if the administrator home page will not open. Based on your system configuration and settings, you might need to try using a different browser.
