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.

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

Stop all processes that access the directory and subdirectories of the Informatica product to upgrade, including command prompts and tail logs.

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 10.5.1

Domain Security - Encryption Key

page appears.

Enter the directory for the encryption key for the informatica domain.

Informatica uses an encryption key to secure sensitive data, such as passwords, that are stored in the Informatica domain. When you upgrade, you must enter the directory in which to store the encryption key on the node that you are upgrading.

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	Description
Encryption key directory	Directory in which to store the encryption key for the domain. By default, the encryption key is created in the following directory: <Informatica installation directory>/isp/config/keys .

Enter the user name and password for the informatica domain.

Click

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.

Enter the following database and user account :

Property	Description
Database type	Database for the domain configuration repository. Select Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Sybase ASE.
Database user ID	Database user account for the domain configuration repository.
User password	Password for the database user account.
Tablespace	Available for IBM DB2. 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 this option is not selected, the installer creates the tables in the default tablespace. In a multipartition database, select this option and specify the name of the tablespace that resides in the catalog partition of the database.
Schema name	Available for Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL. Name of the schema that will contain domain configuration tables. If not selected, the installer creates the tables in the default schema.
Trusted connection	Available for Microsoft SQL Server. Indicates whether to connect to Microsoft SQL Server through a trusted connection. Trusted authentication uses the security credentials of the current user to make the connection to Microsoft SQL Server. If not selected, the installer uses Microsoft SQL Server authentication.

JDBC parameters	Optional parameters to include in the database connection string. Use the parameters to optimize database operations for the database. Verify that the parameter string is valid. The installer does not validate the parameter string before it adds the string to the JDBC URL. If not selected, the installer creates the JDBC URL string without additional parameters.

To enter the connection information using a custom JDBC connection string, select

Custom JDBC connection string

and type the connection string.

Use the following syntax in the JDBC connection string:

IBM DB2: jdbc:Informatica:db2://<host name>:<port number>;DatabaseName=
