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.

Go to the root of the directory that contains the client installation files.

Locate the file named SilentInput.properties.

Back up the file before you modify it.

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:
