1
Prepare Databases for the Informatica Domain
Informatica stores data and
metadata in repositories in the domain. Before you create the domain and the
application services, set up the databases and database user accounts for the
repositories.
Set up a database and user
account for the following repositories:
• Domain configuration repository
• Data object cache repository
To prepare the databases, verify
the database requirements and set up the database. The database requirements
depend on the application services that you create in the domain and the number
of data integration objects that you build and store in the repositories.
2
Domain Configuration Repository
Informatica components store
metadata in relational database repositories. The domain stores configuration
and user information in a domain configuration repository.
You must set up a database and
user account for the domain configuration repository before you run the
installation. The database must be accessible to all gateway nodes in the
Informatica domain.
When you install Informatica, you
provide the database and user account information for the domain configuration
repository. The Informatica installer uses JDBC to communicate with the domain
configuration repository.
The domain configuration
repository supports the following database types:
• IBM DB2 UDB
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle
• Sybase ASE
Allow 200 MB of disk space for
the database.
2.1
Oracle Database
Requirements
Use the following guidelines when
you set up the repository on Oracle:
• Set the open_cursors parameter
to 4000 or higher.
• Set the permissions on the view
$parameter for the database user.
• Set the privileges for the
database user to run show parameter open_cursors in the Oracle
database.
When
you run the pre-installation (i10Pi) system check tool, i10Pi runs the command
against the database to identify the OPEN_CURSORS parameter with the domain
database user credentials.
You can run the following query
to determine the open cursors setting for the domain database user account:
SELECT VALUE OPEN_CURSORS FROM
V$PARAMETER WHERE UPPER(NAME)=UPPER('OPEN_CURSORS')
• Verify that the database user
has the following privileges:
CREATE
SEQUENCE
CREATE SESSION
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE TABLE
CREATE VIEW
• Informatica does not support
Oracle public synonyms for repository tables. Verify that public synonyms have not been created for any
tables in the database.
3
Data Object Cache Database Requirements
The data object cache database
stores cached logical data objects and virtual tables for the Data Integration
Service. You specify the data object cache database connection when you create
the Data Integration Service.
The data object cache database
supports the following database types:
• IBM DB2 UDB
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle
Allow 200 MB of disk space for
the database.
Note: Ensure that you install the
database client on the machine on which you want to run the Data Integration
Service
3.1
Oracle Database Requirements
Use the following guidelines when
you set up the repository on Oracle:
• Verify that the database user
has the following privileges:
CREATE INDEX
CREATE SESSION
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE TABLE
CREATE VIEW
DROP TABLE
INSERT INTO
TABLE
UPDATE TABLE
• Informatica does not support
Oracle public synonyms for repository tables. Verify that public synonyms have
not been created for any tables in the database.
4
Prepare Database for Installation.
4.1
Setup Database Parameters, Users &
Tablespaces in Oracle.
Set the
open_cursors parameter to 1000
SQL>
show parameter open_cursor;
NAME TYPE
VALUE
------------------------------
---------- ----------
Open_cursors integer 300
SQL> alter system set
open_cursors=1000 scope=BOTH;
System altered.
SQL> show parameter
open_cursor;
NAME TYPE
VALUE
------------------------------
---------- ----------
Open_cursors integer 10000
Create required DB accounts, Tablespace and
& Assign Privileges.
Create Common tablespace for all
accounts.
SQL> create tablespace
infra_tbs datafile '/home/oracle/oradata/infra_tbs.dbf' size 2g autoextend on;
Tablespace created.
Create Repository DB Account.
SQL> create user user_rep
identified by user_rep default tablespace infra_tbs temporary tablespace temp
quota unlimited on infra_tbs;
User created.
SQL> grant connect,resource, CREATE
SEQUENCE,CREATE SESSION,CREATE SYNONYM,CREATE TABLE,CREATE VIEW to user_rep;
Grant succeeded.
Create Domain Infra DB account.
SQL> create user user_dom
identified by user_dom default tablespace infra_tbs temporary tablespace temp
quota unlimited on infra_tbs;
User created.
SQL> grant connect,resource, CREATE
SEQUENCE,CREATE SESSION,CREATE SYNONYM,CREATE TABLE,CREATE VIEW, CREATE INDEX,
SELECT ANY DISCTIONARY to user_dom;
Grant succeeded.
5
Operating System setup.
5.1
Verify processor matching the downloaded software
installation.
[root@oel7 ~#] uname -p
X86_64
Verify the OS Information,
release and OS version etc.,
[root@oel7 ~#] uname -arv
Linux oel7 4.1.12-124.14.3.el7uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Mon Apr 30 18:03:45 PDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
5.2
Temporary Disk space requirement.
While installation installer
writes temporary files to the hard disk, after installation completes these files
will be deleted automatically.
We need min 2GB space for these
temp files.
To check the space use the
following command.
[root&oel7 ~#] df -h /tmp
5.3
Set the file descriptor Limit.
Verify that the operating system
meets the file descriptor requirement. Informatica service processes can use a
large number of files. To prevent errors that result from the large number of
files and processes, you can change system settings with ulimit command if you
use a Bash shell.
[root@oel7 ~#] ulimit -a
Informatica service processes can
use a large number of files. Set the file descriptor limit per process to
16,000 or higher.
The recommended limit is 32,000
file descriptors per process.
To change system settings, run
the limit or ulimit command with the pertinent flag and value.
For example, to
set the file descriptor limit, run the following command:
[root@oel7 ~#] ulimit -n
<value>
Informatica services use a large
number of user processes. Use the ulimit -u command to adjust the max user
processes setting to a level that is high enough to account for all the
processes required by Blaze. Depending on the number of mappings and
transformations that might run concurrently, set the file descriptor limit per
process to 16,000 or higher. Run the following command to set the max user
processes setting:
[root@oel7 ~#] ulimit -u <value>
5.4
Create Unix account if already exist.
On Unix / Linux, create a user
account specially to run Informatica services/deamon.
This user account should have
group privileges on Oracle and Java Groups.
6
Extract Installation Files & Licence Key
6.1
Extract the installer files.
The installer files are
compressed and distributed as a tar file.
Use a native tar or GNU tar
utility to extract the installer files to a directory on your machine. The user
that runs the installer must have read and write permissions on the installer
files directory and execute permissions on install.sh.
You can extract the installer
files in the following ways:
• Installation DVD. Download the
Informatica tar file from the installation DVD to a directory on your machine
and then extract the installer files, or extract the installer files directly
from the DVD to a directory on your machine.
• FTP download. Download the
Informatica installation tar file from the Informatica Electronic Software
Download site to a directory on your machine and then extract the installer
files.
Note: Make sure that you download
the file to a local directory or a shared network drive that is mapped on your
machine. You can then extract the installer files. However, you ca
6.2
Verify the License Key
Before you install the software,
verify that you have the license key available.
You can get the license key in
the following ways:
• Installation DVD. If you
receive the installation files in a DVD, the license key file is included in
the Informatica License Key CD.
• HTTP download. If you download
the installation files from the Informatica Electronic Software Download (ESD)
site, the license key is in an email message from Informatica. Copy the license
key file to a directory accessible to the user account that installs the
product.
Contact Informatica Global
Customer Support if you do not have a license key or if you have an incremental
license key and you want to create a domain.
