Installer Packages

You can use the following installers to upgrade to 10.5 HotFix 2 or later:

Standard Installer: Use the installer if you have previously used Entity 360 without Informatica Data Director. Standard Installer does not contain zds-gui.war packages and does not support Informatica Data Director application.
Complete the following steps to upgrade to 10.5 HotFix 2 or later if you are using or previously used Standard Installer:

1. Roll back.

2. Upgrade with the full installer.

Alternatively, you can complete the following steps to upgrade to 10.5 HotFix 2 or later:

1. Navigate to
<INFA-HOME>/server/conf
and
<INFA-HOME>/cleanse/conf
.

2. Degrade the version number in the version.info file. For example, if your version number is 10.5.3.0.0.0.16519774, you can degrade it to 10.5.3.0.0.0.16519773.

3. Upgrade with the full installer.
Full Installer: Use the installer to upgrade to or opt for a full installation of 10.5 HotFix 2 or later if you have previously used Informatica Data Director.

The full installer contains Informatica Data Director (Deprecated).

The

MDM Hub

consists of multiple components. You can install the MDM Hub in the graphical mode, the console mode, or the silent mode.

Core Components

The following table describes the core installation components:

Component	Description
MDM Hub Master Database	A schema that stores and consolidates business data for the MDM Hub . Contains the MDM Hub environment configuration settings, such as user accounts, security configuration, Operational Reference Store registry, and message queue settings. You can access and manage an Operational Reference Store from an MDM Hub Master Database . The default name of an MDM Hub Master Database is CMX_SYSTEM, but you can use a custom name. You can create multiple MDM Hub Master Databases, each with its own set of Operational Reference Stores, in the same database instance.
Operational Reference Store	A schema that stores and consolidates business data for the MDM Hub . Contains the master data, content metadata, and the rules to process and manage the master data. You can configure separate Operational Reference Store databases for different geographies, different organizational departments, and for the development and production environments. You can distribute Operational Reference Store databases across multiple server machines. The default name of an Operational Reference Store is CMX_ORS.
Hub Server	A J2EE application that you deploy on an application server. The Hub Server processes data stored within the MDM Hub and integrates the MDM Hub with external applications. The Hub Server manages core and common services for the MDM Hub .
Process Server	A J2EE application that you deploy on an application server. The Process Server processes batch jobs such as load, recalculate BVT, and revalidate, and performs data cleansing and match operations. The Process Server interfaces with the cleanse engine that you configure to standardize and optimize data for match and consolidation.
Provisioning tool	A tool to build business entity models, and to configure the Entity 360 framework for Data Director . After you build business entity models, you can publish the configuration to the MDM Hub .
Informatica ActiveVOS ^®	A business process management (BPM) tool that is required internally by the MDM Hub for processing data. Informatica ActiveVOS supports automated business processes, including change-approval processes for data. You can also use Informatica ActiveVOS to ensure that changes to master data undergo a review-and-approval process before inclusion in the best version of the truth (BVT) records. When you install ActiveVOS Server as part of the Hub Server installation, you install the ActiveVOS Server , ActiveVOS Console , and Process Central. Also, you install predefined MDM workflows, tasks, and roles.
Data Director (IDD)	A user interface to master and manage the data that is stored in the MDM Hub . In IDD, data is organized by business entities, such as customers, suppliers, and employees. Business entities are data groups that have significance for organizations.

Optional Components

The following table describes the optional installation components:

Component	Description
Resource Kit	Set of samples, applications, and utilities to integrate the MDM Hub into your applications and workflows. You can select the Resource Kit components that you want to install.
Dynamic Data Masking	A data security tool that operates between the MDM Hub and databases to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. Dynamic Data Masking intercepts requests sent to databases and applies data masking rules to the request to mask the data before it is sent back to the MDM Hub .
Informatica Data Controls (IDC)	Applicable to Informatica Data Director (IDD) based on the subject area data model only. IDC is a set of user interface controls that expose the MDM Hub data in third-party applications that are used by business users.
Zero Downtime (ZDT) module	A module to ensure that applications have access to data in the MDM Hub during the MDM Hub upgrade. In a ZDT environment, you duplicate the databases: source databases and target databases. During the MDM Hub upgrade, the ZDT module replicates the data changes in the source databases to the target databases. To buy the ZDT module, contact your Informatica sales representative. For information about installing a zero downtime environment, see the Multidomain MDM Zero Downtime Installation Guide for the database.
