Range of port numbers that can be assigned to the application service processes that run onthe node. When you create an application service in the domain, the Service Managerassigns the first available port in this range to the service process. At a minimum, the numberof ports in the range must be at least twice the number of application service processes thatwill run on the node. Default is 6013 to 6113.

Note: Services and nodes can fail to start if there is a port conflict. You can update the range of ports for applicationservices after you upgrade.

Create a System User AccountCreate a system user account to perform the installation and to run the Informatica service. Verify that the useraccount that you use to install the Informatica services has write permission on the installation directory.You can install Informatica with the user account logged in to the machine and run it under another user account. Youcan create a local account or a domain account to install Informatica or run the Informatica Windows service.Note: To access a repository on Microsoft SQL Server that uses a Windows trusted connection, create a domainaccount.The user accounts require the following permissions to run the installer or to run the Informatica Windows service: Logged in user account. The user account must be a member of the Administrators group and have the Log on as

a service permission. Log in with this user account before you install Informatica. Another user account. The user account must be a member of the Administrators group and have Log on as a

service and Act as operating system permissions. You do not have to log in with this user account before you installInformatica. During installation, you can specify the user account to run the Informatica Windows service.

Configure the UNIX MachineBefore you upgrade the domain and server files, complete the following UNIX tasks:1. Determine port availability.2. Create a system user account.Note: Services may fail to start if there is a port number conflict.

Determine Port AvailabilityThe installer sets up the ports for components in the Informatica domain, and it designates the ports to use forapplication service processes that run on the node where you install Informatica.You can specify the port numbers to use for the components and a range of port numbers to use for the applicationservices. Or you can use the default port numbers provided by the installer. Verify that the port numbers are availableon the machines where you install the Informatica services.

Port number that controls server shutdown for the Administrator tool. The Administrator toollistens for shutdown commands on this port. Default is 6009.

Range of ports forapplication services

Range of port numbers that can be assigned to the application service processes that run onthe node. When you create an application service in the domain, the Service Managerassigns the first available port in this range to the service process. At a minimum, the numberof ports in the range must be at least twice the number of application service processes thatwill run on the node. Default is 6013 to 6113.

Note: Services and nodes can fail to start if there is a port conflict. You can update the range of ports for applicationservices after you upgrade.

Create a System User AccountCreate a user account specifically to run the Informatica daemon.Verify that the user account you use to install Informatica has write permission on the installation directory.

Copy the Installation DirectoryCopy the directory of the previous version of Informatica to the machine where you want the new version ofInformatica to run. For example, if the previous version of Informatica is installed in C:\Informatica\9.0.1, copy theC:\Informatica\9.0.1 directory and subdirectories to the new machine.When you run the upgrade installer, specify the Informatica installation directory on the new machine as the one thatyou want to upgrade.

Verify Keystore File Name and LocationIf the node uses HTTPS, verify that the keystore file is in the default location and that it uses the default file name. If thekeystore file uses a different file name or directory, the Administrator tool fails to start after you upgrade thedomain.The default location for the keystore file is /tomcat/conf. The default file name for thekeystore file is Default.keystore.After you upgrade, you can use infasetup UpdateGatewayNode or UpdateWorkerNode to update the keystore filename and location.

Domain and Server Files Upgrade OverviewUse the server installer to upgrade the server files and domain of a previous version of PowerCenter. The serverinstaller provides a domain upgrade wizard to guide you through the upgrade process.The upgrade wizard installs Informatica 9.5.0 in the installation directory you specify. It does not modify the files in thedirectory of the previous version.The upgrade wizard reads the domain information from files in the previous version and uses the same settings toconfigure the domain and server files for Informatica 9.5.0. It upgrades the tables of the domain configurationrepository in the same database as the previous version.Complete the pre-upgrade tasks before you start the upgrade. Run the installer on all machines that host previousversions of Informatica that you want to upgrade. On Windows, you can upgrade in graphical or silent mode. On UNIX,you can upgrade in graphical, console, or silent mode.You can upgrade Informatica from a DVD or from the root of the directory where you download the installer files. OnWindows, the length of the entire installer directory path, including the zip file name, must be 60 characters or less. OnUNIX, use native tar or GNU tar to extract the installer files. The user that runs the installer must have read and writepermissions on the installer files directory and execute permissions on install.sh.

Upgrading in Graphical ModeUse this procedure to upgrade the domain and server files on the same machine. You can upgrade the domain andserver files in graphical mode on Windows or UNIX.
