Task 2: Get the License Key for your organization from
Informatica Support.
Step by Step Procedure
of Actual Informatica PowerCenter upgrade as below
Step 1: Login as infweb or switch user to infweb .
This user we have created while doing Informatica PowerCenter 8.6.0
installation. This user owns all Informatica files and process
Step 2: Create a filesystem for Informatica 9.1.0
installation with name /informatica91 and change the ownership to “infweb”. We
can do upgrade on the existing filesystem / informatica861 , but I preferred to
do in on other filesystem.
crfs -v jfs2 -A yes `mklv -t jfs2
-y informat datavg 2G` -a log=INLINE -m /informatica91mount /informatica911
|
chown –R infweb:system /informatica9
Step 3 : Switch user to infweb and change directory
where Infromactica8.6.1 install able files are exist.
su infweb
|
cd /admin/software/PC91
Step 4: If we have environment variables PM_HOME,
INFA_HOME,INFA_NODE_NAME and INFA_DOMAINS_FILE set then we need to unset them
using unset command
unset PM_HOME
unset INFA_HOME unset INFA_NODE_NAME unset INFA_DOMAINS_FILE |
Step 5: Stop the currently running Informatica
services
cd /informatica861/server/tomcat/bin
./infaservice.sh shutdown
ps -ef |grep -i java
Step 7: Run the installer “./install.sh” and you will be getting welcome notice and it
will prompt on several places before going to “Chose Installation Type” phase
as below. I have Bold Out my response as on below output and I have selected
Console mode for installation

Informatica PowerCenter 8.6
installation on AIX 5.3, 6.1 servers
BY
ABINASH SHARMA
In
this Informatica PowerCenter tutorial series, I will explain first how to
install Informatica 8.6 on AIX , second I will explain how to upgrade
Informatica PowerCenter 8.6 to 8.6.1 and finally we will see
Informatica 9.1 with Hot Fix 2 upgrade from Informatica 8.6.1.
On
this first article ,we will see how to install Informatic PowerCenter 8.6
, but creating repository , workflow , Integration service and
PowerCenter client etc are out of scope of this tutorial.
Pre requisite
1)
Downloaded Informatica PowerCenter 8.6 package . I have unzip and
uploaded PowerCenter 8.6 package(pc86_aix32) and license key
to the directory /admin/software
-rw-r----- 1 infoweb system webmanual_0034567-Development-AIX.key
drwxr-x--- 6 infoweb system pc86_aix32
2)
Get the License Key for your organization from Informatica Support
Example
: Informatica support provided webmanual_0034567-Development-AIX.key license
for our organization
3)
Collect the Database user ID , Database user
password ,Custom string information
from Database team . In this example I have the following information from
Database team
Database user ID:: DBINFWEB
Database user password:: DBINFWEB Custom string: jdbc:informatica:oracle://infwebora:1521;ServiceName=infweb |
Step by Step Procedure
Task 1: Create
a user id to be used for Informatica installation and assign a password .This
user will own all Informatica files and process . I have created one with
user if “infoweb”
mkuser pgrp=system groups= system gecos="Informatica 8.6 User" infweb
passwd infweb
Task 2: Create
a filesystem for Informatica 8.6 installation with name /informatica86 and
change the ownership to “infweb”
crfs -v jfs2 -A yes `mklv -t jfs2 -y informat datavg 2G` -a log=INLINE -m /informatica86
mount /informatica86
chown –R infweb:system /informatica86
Task3 : switch
user to infweb and change directory to /admin/software/pc86_aix32 where
Infromactica8.6 installable files are there .
su infweb
cd /admin/software/pc86_aix32
drwxr-xr-x 3 infweb system 256 Jun 19 2008 Server
drwxr-xr-x 3 infweb system 256 Feb 25 2008 Update

Task 3: If we
have environment variables PM_HOME, INFA_HOME,INFA_NODE_NAME and
INFA_DOMAINS_FILE set then we need to unset them using unset command
$ unset PM __HOME
$ unset INFA __HOME
$ unset INFA __NODE __NAME
$ unset INFA __DOMAINS __FILE
Task 4: Run the
installer and you will be getting welcome notice and it will prompt on several
places before going to “Chose Installation Type” phase as below. I
have bold out my response as on below output and I have selected Console mode
for installation
