Command Line Utilities Installation for Application Version 10.x.x and Later
Command Line Utilities Installation for Application Version 10.x.x and Later
To extract metadata from an Informatica version 10.x.x application and later that is deployed to a Data Integration Service, you must install the appropriate Command Line Utility. Make sure that the version of the command line utility is the same as the Informatica Platform application version. For example, if the Informatica Platform application version is 10.2 HotFix 2, use the 10.2 HotFix 2 command line utility.
The command line utilities are included in the Command Line Utilities zip file. Contact Informatica Global Customer Support to get the zip file. Install the utilities in a directory that the Metadata Manager Service can access. If you do not install the utilities, the Metadata Manager might not load the resource.
Extract the files to a directory that the Metadata Manager Service can access. Informatica recommends that you extract the files to a directory on the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Service. If you extract the files to a different machine, the Metadata Manager Service can take several minutes to access the directory.
After you install the standalone command line utilities, you normally have to perform the following tasks :
On Windows, install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 redistributable package.
Configure the path and environment variables as required by the command line utilities.
Create the domains.infa file.
You do not have to perform these tasks if you install the appropriate Command Line Utility for an Informatica version 10.x.x application.
