Installing Fast Clone on Linux or UNIX

Installing Fast Clone on Linux or UNIX

To install Fast Clone on Linux or UNIX, use the platform-specific installation .tar.gz file that Informatica provides for your operating system.
You can install and run Fast Clone under the Linux or UNIX user account "Oracle." This Oracle Linux or UNIX account allows read access to Oracle physical data files, as required for bulk data movement. If you cannot use this account, you must configure an administrative user.
  1. Transfer the platform-specific installation tar.gz file that you received from Informatica to a directory on the Linux or UNIX system with the Oracle source instance.
    Informatica recommends that you retain this file in case you need to reinstall the product.
  2. Create a directory for the Fast Clone version that you are installing, for example: 
    /Informatica/FastClone10
  3. Copy the installation tar.gz file to the new directory.
  4. Decompress the tar.gz file into the new directory. Use a program such as gunzip.
    Depending on which decompression program you use, decompression might result in a .tar file or directly extract the Fast Clone files.
  5. If decompression resulted in a .tar file, untar the file to extract the Fast Clone files. Use the standard untar command syntax for your platform.
  6. Define the FAST_READER_HOME environment variable to identify the Fast Clone installation root directory.
  7. If you are installing Fast Clone on an AIX operating system, set the following environment variables: 
    AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S
AIXTHREAD_STK=8000000
    If you are using the Informatica Fast Clone Console start script (unload.sh), this step is optional. If you are not using this script, you must set these environment variables. For more information, see the
    Informatica Fast Clone User Guide.
