Folders in Informatica

Folders provide a way to organize and store all metadata in the repository, including mappings, schemas, and sessions. Folders are designed to be flexible, to help you logically organize the repository. Each folder has a set of configurable properties that help you define how users access the folder. For example, you can create a folder that allows all repository users to see objects within the folder, but not to edit them.

Or, you can create a folder that allows users to share objects within the folder. You can create shared and non-shared folders.You must create a folder in a repository before you can connect to the repository using the Designer or Workflow Manager.

You create and maintain folders in the Repository Manager. In the Repository Manager, you can view the users accessing folders and the objects within each folder. You can also copy and replace folders within the repository or across repositories.
