Installation and Upgrade

Installation and Upgrade

Java Upgrade

Data Archive 6.4.3 requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) SE 8 and Java Development Kit (JDK) SE 8. Previously, Data Archive required JRE and JDK SE 7 (1.7). Upgrade to Java SE 8.
Users with PowerExchange ODBC source connections must continue to use Java SE 7, as the JDBC-ODBC bridge is incompatible with Java 8.
Ensure that the Java version is the same between server and client (the Enterprise Data Manager and the Data Visualization Designer).
If an invalid JAVA_HOME path is set by Java 8, the Data Archive installer may not proceed or error out. To resolve this issue, remove the string "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath" from the path and then proceed with the installation.

Enterprise Data Manager

If you upgrade to version 6.4.3, delete the JNLP file in the Enterprise Data Manager and download a new version of the file by launching the Enterprise Data Manager. This downloads the JNLP file to the browser's default download location. You can also copy the file to any other location.
If you encounter any issues launching the Enterprise Data Manager, clear the Java cache from the client machine.

Informatica Data Archive Profiling

To use the profiling-related options available in the Enterprise Data Manager, you must install Informatica Data Archive Profiling with the new Informatica Data Archive Profiling installer that corresponds to your version of PowerCenter. For more information on the Data Archive Profiling installer, see the
Data Archive Installation Guide
.

Data Vault Utilities

If you use Data Vault with SSL enabled, you must update the environment variables in the session where you run any Data Vault utilities. This includes the ssabackup, ssarestore, ssacleanup, ssamigrate, ssatune, ssadesc, ssapart, or ssadbcopy utilities.
Depending on the operating system, update the PATH variable to the following settings:
  • IBM AIX: 
    Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SSA_INI_DIR/odbc32
export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:$SSA_INI_DIR/odbc32
  • HP-UX: 
    Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SSA_INI_DIR/odbc32
Export SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:$SSA_INI_DIR/odbc32
  • Linux: 
    Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SSA_INI_DIR/odbc32
  • Microsoft Windows: 
    set PATH=%PATH%;%SSA_INI_DIR%\odbc32;

Data Vault Clients

Upgrade all Data Vault clients, such as SSASQL and SSAADMIN, to the 6.4.3 version. Data Vault clients from versions 6.4 - 6.4 HotFix 2 are incompatible with the 6.4.3 Data Vault server in SSL mode.

Data Visualization Designer

You must use the latest version of Data Visualization Designer that is shipped with Data Archive 6.4.3.
After you extract the Data Archive 6.4.3 Data Visualization Designer, complete the following tasks:
  1. Under
    File
    Preview
    , select the
    Run Linked Report
     checkbox. This allows you to run linked reports from Data Visualization Designer.
  2. If you are upgrading from 6.4 or 6.4 HF1, clear your browser cache if you use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
In versions 6.4 and 6.4 HF1, it was not mandatory to give a valid DATE pattern for the report parameter "DATE," due to a bug. This bug has been fixed in version 6.4.3. Because of this fix, some reports might fail with a DATE validation exception.
