    • Verify that the machine has the required operating system patches and libraries.
    • Verify that the machine meets the minimum system requirements to upgrade the domain.
    • Verify that the machine meets the hardware requirements to upgrade the application services.
    • Review the environment variables.
    • Review the maximum heap size setting.
    • Extract the installer files.
    • Run the pre-installation (i10Pi) system check tool.

    • Verify that the machine has the required operating system patches and libraries.
    • Install the Java Developer Kit when you upgrade Informatica on AIX, HP-UX, or zLinux.
    • Verify that the machine meets the minimum system requirements to upgrade the domain.
    • Verify that the machine meets the hardware requirements to upgrade the application services.
    • Review the environment variables.
    • Verify that the operating system meets the file descriptor requirement.
    • Review the maximum heap size setting.
    • Extract the installer files.
    • Run the pre-installation (i10Pi) system check tool.
  • Back up the PowerCenter repository.
  • Perform the following tasks to prepare the Model repository:
    • Back up the Model repository.

  • Prepare to change the node configuration.
    Perform the additional pre-upgrade tasks if you choose to change the node configuration for the following reasons:
    • If the domain configuration repository database type or version is no longer supported, migrate the repository to a different database.
