Monitor
CDI-PC
includes a cloud service component that allows you to monitor your domains from
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
You can monitor an Informatica domain in PowerCenter by logging into the client applications for monitoring.
Updates
CDI-PC
runs automated update jobs from
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
to keep all domains on the latest version. You can choose an earlier date to apply the update or manually initiate an update. The service handles all tasks related to applying the update, including shutting down the domain and services before and starting the domain and services after applying the update.
You manually shut down the domain, run the installer to upgrade, and then start the domain and services.
Domain directory structure
The directory structure of
CDI-PC
includes separate directories for binaries, user configurations, logs, and common libraries. This structure makes it possible to apply updates in stages and to use common libraries with external services.
The directory structure of PowerCenter includes a single Informatica installation directory that contains Informatica binaries, user configuration files, log files, and common libraries. The structure makes upgrades difficult. You can't reuse the common libraries with external services.
Make sure that you create custom configuration files or directories only within the
/usr
directory and avoid placing them elsewhere in the installation folder.
