Creating the Properties File

Creating the Properties File

Informatica provides a sample properties file that includes the upgrade parameters that are required by the installer. You can customize the sample properties file to specify the options for your upgrade.
The sample properties file is named SilentInput.properties and is located in the root of the client installer directory.
  1. Go to the root of the directory that contains the client installation files.
  2. Locate the file named SilentInput.properties.
    Back up the file before you modify it.
  3. Use a text editor to open the file and modify the values of the upgrade parameters.
    The following table describes the upgrade parameters you can modify:
    Property Name
    Description
    INSTALL_TYPE
    Indicates whether to install or upgrade the Informatica client tools.
    To upgrade from a previous version of Informatica, set the value to 1.
    USER_INSTALL_DIR
    Directory in which to install the new version of the Informatica client tools.
    UPG_BACKUP_DIR
    Directory of the previous version of the Informatica tools that you want to upgrade.
    INSTALL_HADOOP_LIBRARIES
    Determines whether to install distribution packages through the installer. Set the value to true if you want to install distribution packages through the installer. Set the value to false if you don't need distribution packages or if you want to install them later.
    SELECTED_HADOOP_LIBRARIES
    Determines the distribution packages that you want to install from the supported packages list. Enter the distribution packages that you want to install, separating multiple packages with a comma.
  4. Save the properties file.
