Upgrading in Graphical Mode

You can upgrade in graphical mode to upgrade the domain on the same machine and on the same domain configuration repository database. You can upgrade the domain in graphical mode on Windows.
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.
