Back up the Informatica domain

If you migrate from Informatica version 10.4.x and choose to allow node and host configuration changes, the installer doesn't back up the domain. Before you migrate the domain, back up the configuration metadata for the domain.

Perform the following steps to back up the domain:

Run the infasetup BackupDomain command to back up the domain configuration database tables to a file.

Back up the metadata configuration files.

Back up the domain configuration

Use the

infasetup BackupDomain

command to back up the domain. You can find infasetup in the following directory:

<Informatica installation directory>/isp/bin

To back up the domain with infasetup, use the following syntax:

BackupDomain  
<<-DatabaseAddress|-da> database_hostname:database_port|

<-DatabaseConnectionString|-cs> database_connection_string>

<-DatabaseUserName|-du> database_user_name

<-DatabasePassword|-dp> database_password

<-DatabaseType|-dt> database_type

[<-DatabaseServiceName|-ds> database_service_name]

<-BackupFile|-bf> backup_file_name

[<-Force|-f>]

<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name

[<-Tablespace|-ts> tablespace_name (used for IBM DB2 only)]

[<-SchemaName|-sc> schema_name (used for Microsoft SQL Server only)]

[<-DatabaseTlsEnabled|-dbtls> database_tls_enabled]

[<-DatabaseTruststorePassword|-dbtp> database_truststore_password]

[<-TrustedConnection|-tc> trusted_connection (used for Microsoft SQL Server only)]

[<-EncryptionKeyLocation|-kl> encryption_key_location]

Back up the domain metadata configuration files

Back up the metadata configuration files to any directory accessible by the machines where you migrate the domain.

The following table describes the metadata files and the locations where you can find them:

Metadata File	Description
nodemeta.xml	Contains metadata for a node. Stored in the <Informatica installation directory>/isp/config directory on the node.
domains.infa	Contains connectivity information for the gateway nodes. Stored in one of the following locations: The Informatica installation directory on the client and server machines. The location configured through the INFA_DOMAINS_FILE environment variable.
