Run the pre-installation system check tool in graphical mode

Run the Pre-installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool to verify whether the machine meets the system requirements for installation.

Ensure that you verified the minimum system requirements and prepared the domain configuration repository database.

Close all the other applications.

Go to the root of the directory that contains the installation files and run

install.bat

as administrator.

Select

Install CDI-PC

Select

Run the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool

to verify whether the machine meets the system requirements for the installation.

Click

Start

The Informatica Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool

Welcome

page appears.

Click

The

System Information

page appears.

Enter the absolute path for the installation directory.

The directory names in the path can't contain spaces or the following special characters: ` % * + ; \ / " ? , < > @ # ! % ) ( } { ] [ ' | &

Informatica recommends using alphanumeric characters in the installation directory path. If you use a special character such as á or €, unexpected results might occur at run time.

Enter the starting port number for the node that you will create or upgrade on the machine. The default port number for the node is 6005.

Click

The

Database and JDBC Connection Information

page appears.

Enter the information for the domain configuration repository database.

The following table describes the properties that you specify for the database and user account:

Property	Description
Database Type	Database for the repository. Select one of the following databases: IBM DB2 Microsoft SQL Server Oracle PostgreSQL Sybase
Database User ID	User account for the repository database.
User Password	Password for the database user account.

The domain configuration repository must be accessible to all gateway nodes in the domain. Specify tablespace properties for IBM DB2 and schema properties for Microsoft SQL Server.

If you plan to use a secure database for the domain configuration repository, select

secure database parameters

Enter the database connection information.

To enter the connection information using the JDBC URL information, select

JDBC URL

and specify the JDBC URL properties.

The following table describes the JDBC URL properties that you need to specify:

Property	Description
Database Address	Host name and port number for the database in the format host_name:port_no .
Database Service Name	Service or database name: IBM DB2. Enter the service name. Oracle. Enter the service name. Microsoft SQL Server. Enter the database name. PostgreSQL. Enter the database name. Sybase. Enter the database name.
JDBC Parameters	Optional parameters for the database connection string. Use the parameters to optimize database operations for the database. Verify that the parameter string is valid. The installer does not validate the parameter string before it adds the string to the JDBC URL. If not selected, the installer creates the JDBC URL string without additional parameters.

To connect to a secure database, enter the JDBC connection using a custom JDBC connection string. To enter the connection information using a custom JDBC connection string, type the connection string and specify the connection parameters.

Use the following syntax in the JDBC connection string:

IBM DB2: jdbc:Informatica:db2://<host name>:<port number>;DatabaseName=
Oracle: jdbc:Informatica:oracle://<host name>:<port number>;ServiceName=
Microsoft SQL Server: jdbc:Informatica:sqlserver://<host name>:<port number>;SelectMethod=cursor;DatabaseName=
PostgreSQL: jdbc:Informatica:postgresql://<host name>:<port number>;DatabaseName=
Sybase: jdbc:Informatica:sybase://<host name>:<port number>;DatabaseName=

Verify that the connection string contains all the connection parameters required by your database system.

Click

Test Connection

to verify that you can connect to the database, and then click

to continue.

Click

to start the system check.

The tool checks the settings of the hard drive, availability of the ports, and configuration of the database. After the system check is complete, the

System Check Summary

page appears that displays the results of the system check.

Analyze the results of the system check.

Each requirement is listed along with one of the following check statuses:

[Pass] - The requirement meets the criteria for the installation.

[Fail] - The requirement doesn't meet the criteria for the installation. Resolve the issue before you proceed with the installation.

[Information] - Verify the information and perform any additional tasks as outlined in the details.

The results of the system check are saved to the following file:

<installation directory>/Server/I10PI/I10PI/en/I10PI_summary.txt

Click

Done

to close the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool.

If the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool finishes with failed requirements, resolve the failed requirements and run the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool again. While you can perform the installation without fixing the failed requirements, Informatica recommends that you resolve the failed requirements before you proceed.
