Before You Install a HotFix on Windows

Before You Install a HotFix on Windows

Before applying the hotfix, complete the following tasks:
  1. Stop all of the following PowerExchange tasks that are running:
    • PowerExchange Listener
    • PowerExchange Listener Service
    • PowerExchange Navigator
    • PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
    • PowerCenter extractions that use PowerExchange on this computer
  2. Back up the PowerExchange installation. By default, PowerExchange is installed in the following location: 
    C:\Informatica\PowerExchange
    v
    .
    r
    .
    m
  3. If you specify the DMX_DIR parameter in the dbmover.cfg, back up the directory to which it points.
  4. If you use CDC, back up the directories that you specified in the following dbmover.cfg parameters:
    • CAPT_PATH. Specifies the directory that contains the CCT files for capture registrations and files for the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
    • CAPT_XTRA. Specifies the directory that contains the extraction maps.
  5. If you use the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, back up the directory that is specified in the EXT_CAPT_MASK parameter of the pwxccl.cfg or dtlca.cfg file. This directory contains the PowerExchange Logger log files. If you use a group definitions file, back up the directories that are specified in the
    external_capture_mask
     positional parameter of each GROUP statement.
    You do not need to back up these directories if you plan to cold start the PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
