Upgrading from Version 10.1 (10.4.0)

Upgrading in Graphical Mode

Upgrading in Graphical Mode

When you upgrade in graphical mode, you can change the node configuration to upgrade the domain to a different machine or to a different domain configuration repository database. You can upgrade the domain in graphical mode on Windows.
To upgrade the domain on the same machine and on the same domain configuration repository database, see Upgrading in Graphical Mode.
On Windows, if you encounter problems when you run the install.bat file from the root directory, run the following file:
<Informatica installation directory>/server/install.exe
  1. Log in to the machine with the same user account that you used to install the previous version.
  2. Stop all processes that access the directory and subdirectories of the Informatica product to upgrade, including command prompts and tail logs.
  3. Go to the root of the directory for the installation files and run install.bat as administrator.
    To run the file as administrator, right-click the install.bat file and select
    Run as administrator
    .
    On Windows, if you encounter problems when you run the install.bat file from the root directory, run the following file:
    <Informatica installation directory>/server/install.exe
    If you do not run the installer as administrator, the Windows system administrator might encounter issues when accessing files in the Informatica installation directory.
    The
    Informatica 10.4.0

  4. Select
    Upgrade to Informatica 10.2
    .
    This image describes the Informatica upgrade versions available. 
				Informatica provides utilities to facilitate the Informatica services installation process. You can run the following utility before you upgrade Informatica services:
    Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool.
    Verifies whether the machine on which you are installing Informatica services meets the system requirements for installation. For more information about running the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool, see GUID-41DD6761-B1F3-4021-824D-545DBE1796A0.
    Informatica Upgrade Advisor.
    Validates the services and checks for obsolete services in the domain before you perform an upgrade. Fore more information about the Informatica Upgrade Advisor, see Run the Informatica Upgrade Advisor.

    I agree to the terms and conditions
    . This image describes the Informatica terms and conditions.
    Informatica DiscoveryIQ is a product usage tool that sends routine reports on data usage and system statistics to Informatica. Informatica DiscoveryIQ uploads data to Informatica 15 minutes after you install and configure Informatica domain. Thereafter, the domain sends the data every 30 days. You can choose to disable usage statistics from the Administrator tool.

    All nodes in an Informatica domain use the same keyword and encryption key. You must keep the name of the domain, the keyword for the encryption key, and the encryption key file in a secure location. The encryption key is required when you change the encryption key of the domain or move a repository to another domain.
    Property

  16. Click
    OK
    .
  17. If you are upgrading a gateway node, enter the database and user account information for the domain configuration repository on the
    Domain Configuration Repository Upgrade
    page.
    This image describes about the domain repository configuration.
    If you are upgrading a worker node, the upgrade wizard does not display the domain configuration repository information. You cannot modify the database connection information. Skip to step 21.
