Upgrading in Console Mode

When you upgrade in console 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 console mode on UNIX.

To upgrade the domain on the same machine and on the same domain configuration repository database, see Upgrading in Console Mode.

When you run the installer in console mode, the words Quit and Back are reserved words. Do not use them as input text.

On a shell command line, run the install.sh file from the root directory.

The installer displays the message to verify that the locale environment variables are set.

If the environment variables are not set, press

to exit the installer and set them as required.

If the environment variables are set, press

to continue.

Press

to upgrade Informatica.

Informatica provides utilities to facilitate the Informatica services installation process. You can run the following utility before you upgrade Informatica services:

Informatica Upgrade Advisor.: Validates the services and checks for obsolete services in the domain before you perform an upgrade.

The installer displays a warning to shut down the Informatica domain that you want to upgrade before you continue the upgrade.

Press

to upgrade to Informatica 10.2.

Read the terms and conditions of Informatica product usage toolkit and press

to continue the upgrade.

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 not send any usage statistics to Informatica. For more information on how to disable sending usage statistics, see

Informatica Administrator Guide

Press

to upgrade Informatica services.

If you are upgrading on AIX, ignore this step.

The Upgrade Prerequisites
page displays the upgrade system requirements.

Verify the requirements before you continue the upgrade.

At the prompt, enter the directory of the Informatica version you want to upgrade and the directory in which you want to install Informatica 10.2.

If you are upgrading a gateway node, select the database to use for the domain configuration repository.

If you are upgrading a worker node, the domain configuration repository information does not display. You cannot modify the database connection information. Skip to step 16.

The following table lists the databases you can use for the domain configuration repository:

Prompt	Description
Database type	Type of database for the domain configuration repository. Select from the following options: 1 - Oracle 2 - Microsoft SQL Server 3 - IBM DB2 4 - Sybase ASE 5 - PostgreSQL

Enter the properties for the database user account.

The following table lists the properties for the database user account:

Property	Description

Enter the parameters for the database. If you do not create a secure domain configuration repository, enter the parameters for the database.

If you select IBM DB2, select whether to configure a tablespace and enter the tablespace name.

The following table describes the properties that you must configure for the IBM DB2 database:

Property	Description
Configure tablespace	Select whether to specify a tablespace: 1 - No 2 - Yes In a single-partition database, if you select No, the installer creates the tables in the default tablespace. In a multi-partition database, you must select Yes.
Tablespace	Name of the tablespace in which to create the tables. Specify a tablespace that meets the pageSize requirement of 32768 bytes. In a single-partition database, if you select Yes to configure the tablespace, enter the name of the tablespace in which to create the tables. In a multi-partition database, specify the name of the tablespace that resides in the catalog partition of the database.

If you select Microsoft SQL Server, enter the schema name for the database.

The following table describes the properties that you must configure for the Microsoft SQL Server database:

Property	Description
Schema name	Name of the schema that will contain domain configuration tables. If this parameter is blank, the installer creates the tables in the default schema.

To enter the JDBC connection information using the JDBC URL information, press

. To enter the JDBC connection information using a custom JDBC connection string, press

Enter the JDBC connection information.

To enter the connection information using the JDBC URL information, specify the JDBC URL properties.
