Restore Contents on to the repository Service. The contents are nothing but the OBI Apps Informatica mappings in form of a file.
To do this first copy the Informatica repository files (Oracle_BI_DW_Base.rep and Oracle_BI_DW_Teradata.rep) from
D:\obiee11g\Oracle_BI1\biapps\dwrep\Informatica\Repository to
D:\Informatica\9.0.1\server\infa_shared\Backup
In the repository service, click Actions > Repository Contents > Restore

Test the connection. If the connection fails, its most likely due to :
Drivers not available in D:\DAC\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\lib. To fix this copy all .jar files from from $ORACLE_HOME\jdbc\lib to the
above mentioned DAC Library path. This is an important step.
TNS not accessible or password not right, check again.
Log in to the DAC using the Administrator username and password configured earlier.

This screen asks for creation DAC repository tables and the the tablespace for DAC metadata tables (starts with W_ETL%). Tablespace
name needs to be filled in. This can be same as the tablespace used for Informatica Domain and Repository Service. Reason being
these schemas don’t grow much.
Next, provide the Administrator user account password and reconfirm that.

Always say yes to Analyze tables for DAC repository. This makes sure indices are rebuilt and table statistics are gathered.
This is how the DAC client will look when login is done for the first time.
We need to import DAC metadata for Source specific containers provided by BI Apps installer The metadata ius present in
<OBIEE_HOME>/OraclelBI\dwrep\DAC_metadata\DAC_Client\export . Copy paste that to dac\export as a precursor to this step.
Go to Tools>DAC Repository management>Import
