When you apply the hotfix, the installer backs up existing directories, applies the new version of the product, and restores or updates required configuration and run-time files.
Informatica provide installers to apply hotfixes to the Informatica services and clients.
To apply or roll back the Informatica hotfix, perform the following steps:
Complete the preliminary tasks. Before you apply or rollback the hotfix, ensure that you shut down the domain. For a multi-node configuration, you also need to shut down all the nodes.
Apply or roll back the hotfix to the Informatica services in graphical, console, or silent mode.
Complete the final tasks for the Informatica services. After you install the server components, start the domain on the gateway node.
Apply the hotfix to the Informatica clients in graphical or silent mode. If you are applying the hotfix to Informatica Developer, verify that the Informatica client hotfix version matches the Informatica services hotfix version.
If the Informatica client hotfix version does not match the Informatica services hotfix version, Informatica Developer cannot connect to the domain.
When you roll back a hotfix, the installer restores Informatica to the previously installed version.
