Hi Loped04,
Based on our documentation, there are no specific requirements for the System Agent and Informatica plugin is to be installed on the same host as the informatica server. The agent uses Informatica Java Load Manager (IJLM) driver to connect to
Informatica and JDBC drivers to connect to Informatica DBMS directly and execute SQL queries. Therefore, your decision to where to install the agent will depend on your existing infrastructure and resources.
