Complete the pre-upgrade tasks before you start the upgrade. Run the installer on all machines that host previous versions of Informatica that you want to upgrade. In a multi-node domain, upgrade the gateway nodes before you upgrade the worker nodes. Before you perform the upgrade, verify that the Informatica domain truststore file contains only the TrustedCertEntry. You must delete all the PrivateKeyEntry entries from the file.

Verify that your machine meets the minimum system requirements to upgrade the Informatica domain.

Ensure that you have a minimum disk space of 50 GB and a RAM of 6 GB to upgrade the Informatica domain.

Effective in version 10.5, Informatica increased the site key size from 128 bit to 256 bit. When you run the Informatica installer, you also need to back up the site key generated since you cannot recover the generated site key. You also do not need to provide the keyword and domain name when you generate the encryption key. The generated site key should be copied to each node or should be placed at shared location, which is accessible by each node. You must upgrade with the older site key when you run the upgrade installer. Ensure that you migrate the site key after domain upgrade.
