Informatica Client Upgrade Overview

Informatica Client Upgrade Overview

Use the client installer to upgrade a previous version of Informatica Developer. Informatica Developer is installed on the installation directory you specify. The client installer configures the newly installed Informatica Developer with the same settings as the previous version. The client installer does not modify the files of the previous version of the client tools.
Complete the pre-upgrade tasks before you start the upgrade. Run the installer on all machines that host previous versions of Informatica Developer that you want to upgrade. You can upgrade the Informatica clients in graphical or silent mode.
When you upgrade the Informatica client tools, the following components are also upgraded:
  • DataDirect ODBC drivers
  • Java Runtime Environment libraries
You can perform the upgrade from the root of the directory where you download the installation files.
When you run the client installer, you can select the following Informatica client tools to upgrade:
