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 by the Data Vault installer. You can customize the sample properties file to specify the options for your installation.

  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.
