    1. Complete the pre-installation tasks. Complete the pre-installation tasks to ensure that you can successfullyrun the installers and create and run the services on the domain.

    2. Install Informatica Services. Use the server installer to install Informatica Services on one or more Windowsor UNIX machines. Create a node and configure the domain. Specify the database to store the domainconfiguration information.

    3. Perform the post-installation configuration tasks. Prepare the database and user account for the Modelrepository and configure the machine to ensure that you can run the domain services and components.

    4. Install Informatica Developer. Use the client installer to install Informatica Developer. You can install theDeveloper tool on one or more Windows machines.

    After installation, log in to the Administrator tool and create and configure the following services:

    ¨ Model Repository Service

    ¨ Data Integration Service

    1

  • ¨ Analyst Sevice

    PowerCenterTo install PowerCenter, complete the following tasks:

    1. Complete the pre-installation tasks. Complete the pre-installation tasks to ensure that you can successfullyrun the installers and create and run the services on the domain.

    2. Install Informatica Services. Use the server installer to install Informatica Services on one or more Windowsor UNIX machines. Create a node and configure the domain. Specify the database to store the domainconfiguration information.

    3. Perform the post-installation configuration tasks. Prepare the database and user account for thePowerCenter repository and configure the machine to ensure that you can run the domain services andcomponents.

    4. Install the PowerCenter Client. Use the client installer to install the PowerCenter Client. You can installthePowerCenter Client on one or more Windows machines.

    After installation, log in to the Administrator tool and create and configure the following services:

    ¨ PowerCenter Repository Service

    ¨ PowerCenter Integration Service

    Optionally, you can create a Metadata Manager Service to run Metadata Manager and Business Glossary and aReporting Service to run reports in Data Analyzer.

    Informatica Services and ClientsThe Informatica platform supports the service-oriented architecture of Informatica products. When you run theserver installer, all the services and components required by the Informatica products are installed. The clientinstaller allows you to select the client application to install for your product.

    Informatica ServicesThe domain is the main administrative unit for the informatica platform. The Informatica domain is a collection ofnodes that represent the machines on which the application services run. The Informatica domain has a ServiceManager to manage operations and services in the domain and perform domain operations on each node. You usethe Administrator tool to manage the Informatica domain.

    You can run the server installer multiple times to install on more than one machine.

    If you install on a single machine, you create a domain and a node on the machine. If you install on multiplemachines, you can create multiple domains with one or more nodes in each domain or you can create one domainfor all nodes.

    If you install on multiple machines, you must create an Informatica domain and a node when you installInformatica Services for the first time. When you install on another machine, you can create another domain andnode, or you can create a node and join the node to an existing domain. You manage each domain through aseparate Administrator tool.

    You can install Informatica Services in graphical mode on Windows and in graphical mode or console mode onUNIX. The installation process creates a service named Informatica9.0 that runs as a service on Windows and asa daemon on UNIX. When you start Informatica9.0, it starts the Service Manager, which manages all domainoperations.

    Database SchemasInformatica components store metadata in relational database repositories. The domain also stores configurationinformation in a domain configuration database. The database requirements depend on the application servicesyou create in the domain and the number of data integration objects you build and store in the repositories.

    You must set up the database for the domain configuration before you start the installation process. You specifythe database connection information during installation.

    After installation, set up the database for a repository before you create the application service in the domain. Youspecify the database connection information when you create the service.

    The following table describes the database requirements for the Informatica components:

  • Verify the License KeyBefore you install the software, verify that you have the license key available. You can get the license key in thefollowing ways:

    ¨ Installation DVD. If you receive the Informatica installation files in a DVD, the license key file is included in theInformatica License Key CD.

    ¨ FTP download. If you download the Informatica installation files from the Informatica Electronic SoftwareDownload (ESD) site, the license key is in an email message from Informatica. Copy the license key file to adirectory accessible to the user account that installs Informatica.

    Contact Informatica Global Customer Support if you do not have a license key or if you have an incrementallicense key and you want to create a domain.

    PowerCenter Real-Time EditionIf you purchase PowerCenter Real-Time Edition, you receive two license keys. The PowerCenter Real-TimeEdition requires a license key for the PowerCenter real-time components and a separate license key for thePowerCenter Orchestration Server.

    During installation, use the PowerCenter Real-Time Edition license key.

    After installation, copy the Orchestration Server license key file to the following directory:

    /OrchestrationServer/var/config

    Create a System User AccountCreate a system user account to perform the installation and to run the Informatica9.0 service or daemon. Verifythat the user account you use to install Informatica has write permission to the installation directory.

    Windows User AccountOn Windows, you can install Informatica with the user account logged in to the machine and run it under anotheruser account. You can create a local account or a domain account to install Informatica or run the Informatica9.0service.

    Note: To access a repository on Microsoft SQL Server that uses Windows integrated security, create a domainaccount.

    The user accounts require the following permission to run the installer or run the Informatica9.0 service:

    ¨ Logged in user account. The user account must be a member of the Administrators group and have the Logon as a service permission. Log in with this user account before you install Informatica.

    ¨ Another user account. The user account must be a member of the Administrators group and have Log on asa service and Act as operating system permissions. You do not have to log in with this user account before youinstall Informatica. During installation, you can specify the user account to run the Informatica9.0 service.

    UNIX User AccountOn UNIX, create a user account specifically to run the Informatica9.0 daemon.

    Set Up the Domain Configuration DatabaseSet up a database and user account for the domain configuration information. The domain configuration databasestores metadata for the domain. When you install Informatica, you provide the database and user account

    Before You Install Informatica Services 9

  • information for the domain configuration database. The Informatica installer uses JDBC to communicate with thedomain configuration database.

    For more information about configuring the database, see the documentation for your database system.

    Use the following rules and guidelines when you set up the domain configuration database and user account:

    ¨ The database must be accessible to all gateway nodes in the Informatica domain.

    ¨ The domain configuration can be in the same database schema as the PowerCenter, Metadata Manager, orData Analyzer repositories. Likewise, the Model repository can be in the same database schema as thePowerCenter, Metadata Manager, or Data Analyzer repositories. However, the domain configuration and theModel repository cannot be in the same database schema.

    ¨ If you create more than one domain, each domain configuration database must have a separate user account.

    Oracle Database RequirementsUse the following guidelines when you set up the database on Oracle:

    ¨ Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000.

    ¨ The database user account must have the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.

    IBM DB2 Database RequirementsUse the following guidelines when you set up the repository on IBM DB2:

    ¨ On the IBM DB2 instance where you create the database, set the following parameters to ON:

    - DB2_SKIPINSERTED

    - DB2_EVALUNCOMMITTED

    - DB2_SKIPDELETED

    - AUTO_RUNSTATS

    ¨ On the database, set the following configuration parameters:

    Parameter Value

    applheapsz 8192

    appl_ctl_heap_sz 8192

    logfilsiz 8000

    DynamicSections 1000

    maxlocks 98

    locklist 50000

    auto_stmt_stats ONNote: For IBM DB2 9.5 only

    ¨ Set the tablespace pageSize parameter to 32768.

    In a single-partition database, specify a tablespace that meets the pageSize requirements. If you do not specifya tablespace, the default tablespace must meet the pageSize requirements.

    In a multi-partition database, you must specify a tablespace that meets the pageSize requirements.

    10 Chapter 2: Before You Install

  • Define the tablespace on a single node.

    ¨ The database user account must have the CREATETAB and CONNECT privileges.

    Note: The default value for DynamicSections in DB2 is too low for the Informatica domain configuration repositoryand Model repository. Informatica requires a larger DB2 package than the default. When you set up the DB2database for the domain configuration repository or a Model repository, you must set the DynamicSectionsparameter to at least 1000. If the DynamicSections parameter is set to a lower number, you can encounterproblems when you install Informatica or when you work with the Analyst tool or Developer tool. The followingerror message can appear:

    [informatica][DB2 JDBC Driver]No more available statements. Please recreate your package with a larger dynamicSections value.

    Microsoft SQL Server Database RequirementsUse the following guidelines when you set up the repository on Microsoft SQL Server:

    ¨ Set the read committed isolation level to READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT to minimize locking contention.

    To set the isolation level for the database, run the following command:

    ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ONTo verify that the isolation level for the database is correct, run the following command:

    SELECT is_read_committed_snapshot_on FROM sys.databases WHERE name = DatabaseName¨ The database user account must have the CONNECT, CREATE TABLE, and CREATE VIEW permissions.

    Determine Port AvailabilityThe installer sets up the ports for components in the Informatica domain, and it designates the ports to use forapplication service processes that run on the node where you install Informatica.

    You can specify the port numbers to use for the components and a range of port numbers to use for theapplication services, or you can use the default port numbers provided by the installer. Verify that the portnumbers are available on the machines where you install Informatica Services.

    The following table describes the ports you specify during installation:

    Port Type Description

    Domain port Port number used by the domain. Default is 6005.

    Service Manager port Port number used by the Service Manager on the node. The Service Manager listens forincoming connection requests on this port. Client applications use this port to communicatewith the services in the domain. This is the port that the Informatica command line programsuse to communicate to the domain. This is also the port for the SQL data service JDBC/ODBCdriver. Default is 6006.

    Service Manager shutdownport

    Port number that controls server shutdown for the domain Service Manager. The ServiceManager listens for shutdown commands on this port. Default is 6008.

    Informatica Administrator port Port number used by the Administrator tool. Default is 6007.

    Before You Install Informatica Services 11

  • Port Type Description

    Informatica Administratorshutdown port

    Port number that controls server shutdown for the Administrator tool. The Administrator toollistens for shutdown commands on this port. Default is 6009.

    Range of ports forapplication services

    Range of port numbers that can be assigned to the application service processes that run onthe node. When you create an application service in the domain, the Service Manager assignsthe first available port in this range to the service process. At a minimum, the number of portsin the range must be equal to the number of application service processes that will run on thenode. Default is 6013 to 6113.

    Guidelines for Port ConfigurationThe installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.

    Use the following guidelines to determine the port numbers:

    ¨ The port number you specify for the domain and for each component in the domain must be unique.

    ¨ The port number for the domain and domain components cannot be within the range of the port numbers thatyou specify for the application service processes.

    ¨ The highest number in the range of port numbers that you specify must be at least three numbers higher thanthe lowest port number. For example, if the minimum port number in the range is 6400, the maximum portnumber must be at least 6403.

    ¨ The port numbers that you specify for the domain, domain and node components, and application serviceprocesses cannot be lower than 1025 or higher than 65535.

    Verify Environment VariablesConfigure the environment variables to work with Informatica. Incorrectly configured environment variables cancause the Informatica domain or nodes to fail to start or can cause connection problems between the Informaticaclients and the domain.

    The installer appends file paths required by Informatica to the PATH environment variable. Verify that the length ofthe PATH environment variable does not exceed the system limits and that the variable does not contain doublequotes.

    On UNIX, create the environment variables with the system user account you will use for installation. Log in withthe account you plan to use to install Informatica and then create the environment variables.

    The following table describes environment variables you configure before you install:

    Variable OperatingSystem

    Description

    IATEMPDIR (InstallAnywhere) WindowsUNIX

    Location of temporary files created during installation. Informaticarequires 1 GB disk space for temporary files.Configure the environment variable if you do not want to createtemporary files in the following locations:- /tmp directory on UNIX- default drive on Windows

    JRE_HOME SUSE LinuxLinux EMT64

    Clear the JRE_HOME environment variable.

    Japanese ja_JP.SJIS or ja_JP.PCK

    Portuguese pt_BR.ISO8859-1, pt_BR.8859-15, or pt_BR

    After you install, update the locale setting to one that is compatible with the code page of the repository.

    Set Up the X Window ServerWhen you run the Informatica installer in graphical mode, you must use a graphics display server. On UNIX, thegraphics display server is typically an X Window server. If you do not have the X Window server installed on themachine where you want to install Informatica, you can install Informatica using an X Window server installed onanother machine. Use the DISPLAY variable to redirect output of the X Window server to another UNIX machine.

    The following table lists the commands to set the DISPLAY environment variable:

    Shell Command Example

    C setenv DISPLAY :0 setenv DISPLAY 10.1.50.23:0

    Bash/Korn export DISPLAY=”:0” export DISPLAY=”10.1.50.23:0”

    Bourne DISPLAY=”:0”export display

    DISPLAY=”10.1.50.23:0”export display

    If you do not know the IP address of a UNIX machine where the X Window server is installed, ask your networkadministrator. For more information about redirecting the DISPLAY variable, see the documentation from the UNIXvendor.

    If the X Window server does not support the font that the Informatica installer uses, the installer can displayincorrect labels on the buttons. For example, the button labeled Test Connection can appear as Test Connecti....

    Before You Install Informatica Services 13

  • Set Up a Keystore FileDuring installation, you can configure Informatica to use SSL certificates for secure communication between theAdministrator tool and the Service Manager. The installer can generate a self-signed certificate, or you can providea certificate signed by a certification authority.

    When you create application services in the domain, you can also configure secure connection for Data Analyzer,Metadata Manager, and the Web Services Hub. Use the Administrator tool to specify the keystore files for theapplication services.

    You can use the keytool utility to generate a keystore file to store the SSL keys and certificates for a secureconnection. Keytool is a key and certificate management utility to generate and administer SSL keys andcertificates. The keys and certificates are stored in a keystore file. You can use a self-signed certificate or onesigned by a certification authority (CA). To use a certificate signed by a CA, use keytool to generate a CertificateSigning Request (CSR) and apply for a digital identity certificate from a CA.

    You can find the keytool utility in one of the following directories:

    ¨ %JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin¨ InformaticaInstallDir\java\binFor more information about using keytool, see the documentation on the Sun web site:

    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html
