Installing informatica on Windows 7

Hi Below are my notes taken during informatica 8.1 install on my laptop.


The download that we get from the oracle edelivery site
is a 8.1 and a service pack for 8.5 upgrade so ther
are two different things in that download


1) 1st error got not enough space i have lot of space
Need to run as admin as windows xp mode as cant install on
windows 7. the 8.1 version its not able to recognize space

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

I tried changing the temp location but that is not the problem
i have lot of space in temp of my c drive

The issue is you need to run 8.1 with compatibility mode for
windows server 2003 .right Click on install.exe go to properties then compatibility tab and select windows 2003 it should do it

then you are asked to create domain .. domain is the primary logical unit for management and administration within powercentre
service manager runs on it . service manager supports domain and application services

in the order of services informatica 8.6.1 service is the first service

you need to create a user in oracle called informatica to store powercentre repository meaning it will save informatica jobs in oracle
database

create user informatica identified by informatica

grant all privileges to informatica


After that informatica is not able to accept these username it gives

oracle jdbc .Error establishing connection to host and port 1521

check if the listen is up

in cmd type lsnrctl then type status

I try to manually start listener from services but its starting then again stopping in 2 seconds

I had changed my pc name got from earlier command

kapil 123 is the password for domain

For informatica services also password is kapil`123

Use the error below and catalina.out and node.log in the server/tomcat/logs directory on the current machine to get more information.

Select Retry to continue the installation.

STDOUT: Installing the service '"Informatica Services 8.1.1"' on node 'node01_Bhagvant-PC'...

STDERR: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
System error 1069 has occurred.

The service did not start due to a logon failure.



EXITCODE: 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May be because my apache service was up it gave this error.so drop the informatica user from oracle as it has some repository tables
and again try the installation after disabling apache

System error 1069 has occurred

Ok finally solved .You dont need to provide any username and password as we are running as admin i dont have any user set up for my

machine
if you have user set up please enter the user or continue



---------------------------- PowerCenter Domain Creation : Success PowerCenter Ping Domain : Failed Repository Service Creation :

Skipped Repository Service Startup : Skipped PowerCenter Repository Creation : Skipped  The installation debug log file can be found

at : F:/Informatica_install/Informatica_Installation_Server_Debug.log

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my admin console is not starting .So i deleted informatica manually from the folder as uninstaller was not working.then i removed
from start up by manually deleting.then need to go to window registerty just go to run and then regedit and look for informatica and

delete so that you are good as new

my informatica service was not started go to control panel and services and try to start informatica service if it does not start

check your path variable in environement variables it should have bin folder path where informatica is installed

after doing this my admin console is workeing

to log into admin username is admin and password is what you gave during intall


Try to create repository service from admin console .login to admin console right click on node and create repository service

before that create a licence file by right clicking on node


after you create repository service you need to create integration service

I had chagned my computer name from admin pc but in my tnsnames files it was still showing admin pc that was one issue

after that when trying to set up repository from repository manager getting error.

unable to handle request because repository content do not exists

There are 500 over tables and views present in Informatica 8.5.x Repository. All table name starts with “OPB_” and the view names

start with “REP_”.

so i did not have it in my oracle user informatica which means repository did not get created though i have repository servic

then connect to repository from repository manager by giving your oracle username and password for repository
no table and all
