Review the Environment Variables

Review the Environment Variables

Configure the environment variables to work with the Informatica installation.
The following table describes the environment variables to review:
Variable
Description
IATEMPDIR
Location of the temporary files created during installation. Informatica requires 1 GB disk space for temporary files.
Configure the environment variable if you do not want to create temporary files in the /tmp directory.
INFA_DOMAINS_FILE
Contains the location of the domains.infa file. Clear this variable before you start the upgrade.
INFA_HOME
Contains the location of the Informatica installation directory. Clear this variable before you start the upgrade.
LANG and LC_ALL
Change the locale to set the appropriate character encoding for the terminal session. For example, set the encoding to
Latin1
 or
ISO-8859-1
 for French,
EUC-JP
 or
Shift JIS
 for Japanese, or
UTF-8
 for Chinese or Korean. The character encoding determines the types of characters that appear in the UNIX terminal.
DISPLAY
Unset the DISPLAY environment before you run the installer. Installation might fail if the DISPLAY environment variable has some value.
Library path
Verify that the library path environment variables do not contain earlier versions of Informatica.
PATH
Verify that the PATH environment variables do not contain earlier versions of Informatica.
SKIP_VENDOR_CHECK
Configure the environment variable to remove the sudo prompt from the installer on Linux or AIX.
Set the environment variable to true to remove the sudo prompt from the upgrade installer on Linux or AIX.
If you don't have sudo privileges, set the environment variable to true before you upgrade. If you have sudo privileges, you don't need to set the environment variable.
