The Analyst Service is an application service that runs the Analyst tool in the Informatica domain. The Analyst Service manages the connections between service components and the users that have access to the Analyst tool.
When you run profiles, scorecards, or mapping specifications in the Analyst tool, the Analyst Service connects to the Data Integration Service to perform the data integration jobs. When you work on Human tasks in the Analyst tool, the Analyst Service connects to the Data Integration Service to retrieve the task metadata from the workflow database.
When you view, create, or delete a Model repository object in the Analyst tool, the Analyst Service connects to the Model Repository Service to access the metadata. When you view data lineage analysis on scorecards in the Analyst tool, the Analyst Service sends the request to the Metadata Manager Service to run data lineage.
When you create the Analyst Service, you do not associate it with any relational databases.
