PowerExchange environment. Describes the PowerExchange data files and directories, configuration

parameters, environment variables, and other elements that comprise the PowerExchange environment

on each operating system.

Upgrade planning. Discusses strategies and steps for preserving PowerExchange data under different

upgrade scenarios. This topic applies to all PowerExchange users, especially those who are upgrading to

a new PowerExchange release. Users who are installing PowerExchange for the first time can also use

this information to plan their environment so that future upgrades are as easy as possible.

Upgrade considerations. Discusses considerations for upgrading to specific PowerExchange releases and

coordination with PowerCenter upgrades. This topic applies to PowerExchange users who are upgrading

to a new PowerExchange release.

Caution: Perform only one type of installation on a system at a time. If you install the software in both the

software and patches folders, the installation does not work properly.

PowerExchange OverviewPowerExchange can help you synchronize a data source with a data target. PowerExchange performs the

following basic functions:

Bulk data movement. Use this function to materialize or entirely refresh a data target. This function can

move large amounts of data between different platforms efficiently. However, frequent bulk data

movement operations can be costly in terms of space, time, and staff resources.

Change data capture (CDC). Use this function to capture changes to a data source and apply them to a

target in near real time or asynchronously. PowerExchange CDC can capture insert, update, and delete

changes that are made to a data source. PowerExchange CDC has minimal impact on the performance

and availability of the source database, tables, and files.

PowerExchange provides two types of CDC:

- Synchronous CDC. Occurs in real time by integrating into the transaction performing the change.

-Asynchronous CDC. Captures the changes from database log files.

PowerExchange works with PowerCenter to enable you move bulk data and change data to a variety of data

targets.

PowerExchange Components

PowerExchange uses some or most of following components, depending on your operating system and

whether you are performing CDC, bulk data movement, or both.

PowerExchange Agent

On a z/OS system, the PowerExchange Agent verifies capture registration information, provides registration

information to some types of ECCRs, and manages global queues and data flow among CDC components.

The PowerExchange Agent provides capture registrations to the following ECCRs:

DB2

IMS synchronous

14 Chapter 1: PowerExchange Installation and Upgrade Overview


15/196

Batch VSAM

CICS/VSAM

Other ECCRs read capture registration information directly from the CCT data set. For all of the ECCRs, the

PowerExchange Agent verifies the capture registration information.

The PowerExchange Agent also manages global queues and data flow among various PowerExchange CDC

components.

Use of the PowerExchange Agent is required for CDC on z/OS.

PowerExchange Condense

On an i5/OS or z/OS system, PowerExchange Condense stores change data in condense files and optionally

condenses it. The condense files store only the successfully completed units of work (UOWs), in

chronological order by end time. When an extraction session runs, change data is extracted from the

condense files rather than from the change stream. You can run multiple Condense jobs at a time.

Use of PowerExchange Condense is optional on i5/OS and z/OS. On Linux, UNIX, or Windows, use the

PowerExchange Logger.

PowerExchange Environmental Change Capture Routine (ECCR)

On a z/OS system, an ECCR captures change data from a data source and passes the captured changes to

the PowerExchange Logger for recording. PowerExchange provides an ECCR for each type of data source

on z/OS. Depending on the source type, the ECCR captures changes synchronously as they are made or

asynchronously from database logs.

Use of an ECCR for the data source is required for CDC on z/OS.

PowerExchange Listener

The PowerExchange Listener coordinates activities across platforms, initiates requests, or processes

requests from third-party applications.

More specifically, the PowerExchange Listener performs the following functions:

Manages data maps for bulk data movement jobs and CDC for nonrelational sources and optionally for

DB2 tables.

Manages capture registrations and extractions maps for CDC data sources.

Makes bulk data and change data available to the PowerExchange Navigator for database row tests.

Makes bulk data and change data available to PowerCenter when you run a PowerCenter session.

Interacts with other PowerExchange Listeners on other nodes to facilitate communication among the

PowerExchange Navigator, PowerCenter Integration Service, data sources, and any system to which

PowerExchange processing is offloaded.

If a data source or data target is remote from the system on which you are using PowerExchange, you must

also run a PowerExchange Listener that has access to the data.

Use of the PowerExchange Listener is required for bulk data movement and CDC.

PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

The PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows captures and stores change data in

PowerExchange Logger log files. The log files store only the successfully committed UOWs, in chronological

PowerExchange Components 15


16/196

order by end time. When an extraction session runs, the change data is extracted from the PowerExchange

Logger log files rather than from the database logs.

Use of the PowerExchange Logger is optional on Linux, UNIX, or Windows. On i5/OS or z/OS, use

PowerExchange Condense.

PowerExchange Logger for z/OS

The PowerExchange Logger for z/OS receives captured change data from the ECCRs that are connected to

it and stores the change data in log data sets. The change data is then available for real-time extractions or

PowerExchange Condense jobs.

Use of the PowerExchange Logger is required for CDC on z/OS.

PowerExchange Navigator

The PowerExchange Navigator is the graphical user interface (GUI) from which you define and manage data

maps, capture registrations, and extraction maps for the data sources from which you want to extract bulk

data or capture change data.

PowerExchange uses these definitions to determine the data sources to process. Capture registrations and

extraction maps pertain to CDC only. Data maps are required to perform bulk data movement operations and

to provide metadata for capture registrations.

Installing PowerExchange Components

The PowerExchange components that you must install depend on whether you want to perform bulk data

movement operations, CDC processing, or both.

The following table lists which components are required to perform bulk data movement or CDC and provides

references to the relevant PowerExchange documentation for customizing the component:

PowerExchange CDC does not honor Row and Column Access Control (RCAC) rules because of a DB2

limitation. When PowerExchange tries to process journal entries for tables that have RCAC rules applied,

the columns or rows are not masked or filtered based on the rules. RCAC rules were introduced in DB2

for i5/OS 7.2.

Software Requirements for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Verify that your Linux, UNIX, or Windows system meets the operating system and data source requirements

for the PowerExchange functions that you plan to perform. Additionally, apply the required maintenance to

your operating system and data sources.

PowerExchange License Keys

To run PowerExchange components, you need a license key. The license key is a 64character string

comprised of hexadecimal characters.

The characters are separated by hyphens every four characters, such as:

1234-ABCD-1234-EF01-5678-A9B2-E1E2-E3E4-A5F1-A9B2-1234-E3D4-95F1

Note: Previously, PowerExchange used 44character license keys. PowerExchange still accepts 44-character

keys that have not expired.

The license key is not case-sensitive.

License keys are valid for specific time periods. PowerExchange uses license keys to control access tooperating systems and data sources. Do not attempt to install the PowerExchange software until you have a

valid license key for all required components.



29/196

How to Get the PowerExchange License Keys

Informatica provides the PowerExchange license keys based on how you get the PowerExchange installation

files:

FTP download. If you get the PowerExchange installation files from an FTP download, the license keys

are included as part of an email message.

Installation DVD. If you get the PowerExchange installation files on a DVD, the license keys are included

in the package with the DVD.

Entering PowerExchange License Keys

Enter PowerExchange license keys at installation or when you get new license keys. Enter the keys in

following situations:

When you initially install PowerExchange, you must enter the license keys to complete the installation.

The installation program creates license key files on the systems where the product is installed.

If you get new license keys for an existing PowerExchange installation, update the license key files on

your systems with the new keys. If you upgrade the PowerExchange software, update the license key files on your systems with the new

keys when you install that new version.

If you purchase additional product options for an existing PowerExchange installation, update the license

key files on your systems with the new keys that are supplied for the added options.

If you do not have a license key or have problems with an existing license key, contact Informatica Global

Customer Support.

If you have a Proof of Concept (POC) temporary license that has expired, you can purchase a full license.

The expiration date for the temporary license is listed in the POC agreement. If you got the PowerExchange

installation files from an FTP download, the expiration date is also listed in the email message.

PowerExchange Interoperability with PowerCenter
