Before you upgrade to the current version of Data Archive, perform the following tasks:
Read the release notes for information about known and fixed limitations for the release.
Verify that you have read and write privileges on the directory where the
ILM_HOME
folder exists. If you do not have read and write privileges on this directory, the upgrade fails.
Create a backup of the ILM repository database and the ILM_HOME folder. If the upgrade fails, you must restore the backup before you try to upgrade again.
Stop the ILM application server and end all ILM services.
Optionally, delete the
work
folder from the
ILM_HOME
directory.
Extract the installer files from the compressed installation file:
Informatica_ILM_<release><hotfix>.zip
The installer files include the Data Archive installer.
If you use the Application Retirement for Healthcare accelerator, verify that the catalog that exists in
ILM_HEALTHCARE\<ARCHIVE_FOLDER_NAME>
and the catalog deployed on the JReport Server are the same. If not, download the latest catalog from the JReport Server through JReport Designer and place the catalog inside
ILM_HEALTHCARE\<ARCHIVE_FOLDER_NAME>
before you upgrade.
When you upgrade to version 6.5.1 on Oracle database, you might encounter the following error: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded. To avoid the error, set the Maximum open cursors value to 1000 or higher in the AMHOME database.
