This chapter contains preliminary tasks that you must complete. Use this checklist to track preliminary tasks before you prepare for services.
  • Read the Informatica Release Notes for updates to the installation and upgrade process.
  • Verify system requirements:
    • Verify sizing requirements based upon your processing and concurrency requirements.
    • Review the patch requirements to verify that the machine has the required operating system patches and libraries.
    • Verify that the port numbers to use for application service processes are available on the machines where you install the Informatica services.
    • Review the distribution requirements to integrate the Informatica domain with the Hadoop or Databricks environment.
    • Verify that the operating system meets the file descriptor limit.
  • Back up the Data Transformation files that were created in a previous installation.
  • Review system environment variables.
  • Create a system user account to run the installer.
  • Set up keystore and truststore files if you want to configure secure communication for the domain and set up a secure connection to web client applications.
