The installer files are compressed and distributed as a ZIP file for Windows and a TAR file for UNIX. You need to download installers for Proactive Monitoring for PowerCenter (Proactive Monitoring) and the Informatica command line utilities.
Make sure that you download the file to a local directory or a shared network drive that is mapped on your machine. You can then extract the installer files. However, you cannot run the installer from a mapped file. Copy the extracted files to a local drive and then run the installer.
Step 1. Download the installers
You can extract the installer files using HTTP download. Download the compressed file from the Informatica Electronic Software Download (ESD) site to a directory on your machine and then extract the installer files.
When you download the installation files from the Informatica Electronic Software Download (ESD) site, the license key is in an email message from Informatica. Copy the license key file to a directory accessible to the user account that installs the product.
Contact Informatica Global Customer Support if you do not have a license key or if you have an incremental license key and you want to create a domain.
Command line utilities
If you want the installer to validate the domain and create PowerCenter metadata, you must download and extract the command line utilities. You can download the command line utilities through FTP. Download the compressed file from the Informatica Electronic Software Download site to a directory on your machine and then extract the installer files. Verify that you download the version of the utilities associated with the version of PowerCenter that you plan to monitor.
Step 2. Extract the installer files
On Windows, use a ZIP utility to extract the installer files to a directory on your machine. Verify the ZIP utility version is compatible with the Windows operating system version. When you unzip the file, verify that the ZIP utility also extracts empty folders.
On UNIX, use a native tar or GNU TAR utility to extract the installer files to a directory on your machine. The user that runs the installer must have read and write permissions on the installer files directory and execute permissions on install.sh.
