Upgrading Fast Clone

Upgrading Fast Clone

Upgrade Fast Clone on each system where you run a Fast Clone component such as the Fast Clone Console, Fast Clone executable, and Fast Clone server. Use this procedure for an existing installation.
  1. Transfer the platform-specific Fast Clone installation file for the current release that you received from Informatica to a directory other than the existing Fast Clone installation directory on your system.
    Retain the installation file to upgrade other Fast Clone instances or redo an upgrade.
  2. Wait for all of the Fast Clone unload jobs that are running to complete.
  3. Stop all Fast Clone Server instances that are running under the earlier Informatica Fast Clone version.
    • On Windows, run the stop_server.cmd script, or run the following commands from the command line: 
      cd 
      Fast_Clone_installation_directory
      
FastReader.exe RUN_AS_SERVICE=true SERVER_CONFIG=server.ini -k
    • On Linux or UNIX, run the following command from the command line: 
      kill -9 
      fast_clone_server_process_id
  4. Back up the existing Fast Clone installation, including the cloning configuration files.
  5. Extract or decompress the installation file into the existing Fast Clone installation directory:
    • On Linux, decompress the FastClone_
      v
      _
      r
      _
      m
      .linux.x86_64.tar.gz file.
    • On Windows, extract the FastClone_
      v
      _
      r
      _
      m
      .win.64t.zip file.
    Confirm that the files for the previous Fast Clone version were overwritten.
  6. Copy the new license key file, FastClone.key, to the Fast Clone installation directory.
  7. Verify that the FAST_READER_HOME environment variable still points to the Fast Clone installation.
  8. Verify that the required version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed. To determine the installed version, issue the following command from the command line: 
    java -version
  9. If you use the 32-bit Oracle Client in either of the following situations, you must install the 64-bit Oracle Client:
    • Fast Clone and the 32-bit Oracle Client are installed on a computer that is remote from the Oracle source database.
    • Fast Clone is installed on the same computer as the Oracle source database, and the Oracle version is 32-bit.
  10. 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
    .
  11. Restart all Fast Clone Server instances.
    • To start the Fast Clone Server as a service on Windows, run the start_server.cmd script or issue the following commands from the command line: 
      cd 
      Fast_Clone_installation_directory
      
FastReader.exe RUN_AS_SERVICE=true SERVER_CONFIG=server.ini -s
    • To start the Fast Clone Server as a daemon on Linux or UNIX, run the server.sh script.
