Step 1. Create the Properties File

Step 1. Create the Properties File

Informatica provides a sample properties file that includes the parameters that are required to upgrade a Data Vault component. You can customize the sample properties file to specify the options for your upgrade.
The sample properties file is named SilentInput.properties and is located in the root directory of the installation DVD or the installer download location. After you customize the file, save it back to the same file name SilentInput.properties.
The properties file contains all parameters required for installation and upgrade. You need to configure the parameters required for the upgrade. The installer ignores any parameter that is not used in the upgrade process.
  1. Go to the root of the directory that contains the installer files.
  2. Find the file named SilentInput.properties.
    Back up the file before you modify it.
  3. Use a text editor to open the file and modify the values of the parameters.
    The following table describes the upgrade parameters that you must set:
    Property Name
    Description
    INSTALL_TYPE_NEW
    Installs a Data Vault component. To upgrade a component, set this parameter to 0.
    INSTALL_TYPE_UPGRADE
    Upgrades a Data Vault component. Set this parameter to 1.
    USER_INSTALL_DIR
    Directory for the Data Vault component to upgrade.
    When you upgrade the Data Vault Data Archive plug-in, specify the directory that contains the instance of Data Archive where the plug-in is installed.
    When you upgrade other components, specify the directory that contains the Data Vault component that you want to upgrade.
    SILENT_INSTALL
    Installs in silent mode. Default is True. Do not change the default value.
  4. Save the properties file with the name SilentInput.properties.
