Uninstalling Informatica Services or Clients on Windows

If you install the Informatica services and Informatica clients on the same machine, uninstalling Informaticaremoves the ODBC directory. This issue affect installation on Windows.

When you install the Informatica services, the installer creates an ODBC entry that points to the<InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0 directory. If you install the Informatica clients on the same machine, theinstaller updates the ODBC entry to point to the <InformaticaInstallationDir>\clients\tools\ODBC7.0 directory. Ifyou uninstall the Informatica clients, the uninstaller deletes the <InformaticaInstallationDir>\clients\tools\ODBC7.0 directory, to which the ODBC entry still points.

Similarly, when you install the Informatica clients, the installer creates an ODBC entry that points to the<InformaticaInstallationDir>\clients\tools\ODBC7.0 directory. If you install the Informatica services on the samemachine, the installer updates the ODBC entry to point to the <InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0 directory. If

6 IN_RLN_95100_HF3_0001

you uninstall the Informatica services, the uninstaller deletes the <InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0directory, to which the ODBC entry still points.

After you uninstall the Informatica services or clients, restore the ODBC7.0 folder to the original location.

1. Before you uninstall the Informatica services or clients, copy the ODBC7.0 directory to a temporary directoryon your local drive. For example, if you are uninstalling the Informatica services, copy the<InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0 directory and its contents to C:\temp.

2. Perform the uninstallation.

3. After you uninstall the Informatica services or clients, re-create the ODBC7.0 directory path.

4. Copy the ODBC7.0 temporary directory to the ODBC7.0 directory. For example, if you uninstalled theInformatica services, copy the ODBC7.0 folder and its contents to <InformaticaInstallationDir>.

(CR 322656)

Hotfix Installation and Rollback

When you apply the hotfix, the installer backs up existing directories, installs the new version of the product, andrestores or updates required configuration and run-time files.

Informatica provides separate installers to apply hotfixes to the Informatica services and clients. To apply theInformatica hotfix, complete the following steps:

1. Complete the pre-installation tasks.

258847 Mapping hangs on Solaris and the Data Integration Service shuts down unexpectedly if you enableTruncate Target Table for a Teradata target.

258708 The primary key and functional dependency inference results on columns with null values may varydepending on whether you just run the profile or validate the profile results. This variance occurs becauseinference is based on the summary of null values whereas validation displays all the records.

258707 If you apply an active filter to a profile after you run the profile without any filters, the drilldown results maynot be accurate.Workaround: After you set the active filter, run the profile again before you drill down on a column.

257609 Mappings that contain a logical data object cannot be exported to PowerCenter if the logical data objectuses a physical data object as a source and the logical data object also contains a customized data objectthat is created from the physical data object.

255827 When you preview a relational data object, the session load summary in the log file does not list the rowsrejected while reading data from the database as rejected rows.

255089 When the Data Integration Service filters or performs a lookup on char datatypes, the Data IntegrationService uses varchar semantics and therefore it does not ignore trailing spaces for the following types ofmappings:- A mapping with a relational Lookup transformation- A mapping that is not optimized and includes a logical data object Lookup transformation- A mapping that is optimized and includes a logical data object Lookup transformation that contains a relational read mapping

without a pipeline- A mapping with filter transformation logic that cannot be pushed down to the source

254167 A Data Integration Service proxy server that uses HTTP 1.0 returns an error if the HTTP server and clientuse HTTP 1.1 and the SOAP request size is greater than 1024 bytes.Workaround: Use HTTP 1.1 for the proxy server.

254009 For a functional dependency inference with a set confidence threshold, a non-primary key column cannotdetermine a primary key column.

249655 The logical data object Lookup transformation does not return a match for a NULL input value when thelookup source contains a NULL value.

235924 The Developer tool can specify a reference table as a parameter. It reads the parameter setting from adifferent tab depending on whether you run the mapping or run a profile on the mapping.When you run the mapping, the Developer tool looks for the parameter on the Parameters tab. When youprofile output from a mapping object, the Developer tool looks for the parameter on the Configurationtab.

234898 If you enter a custom SQL query that contains a DDL statement in a customized data object, the Developertool might execute the query against the database when you validate the query.

234419 Because the Developer tool does not retain key field information for nonrelational data sources, youcannot include an Update Strategy transformation in a Developer tool mapping for a nonrelational datasource.
