Installing the Command Line Utilities

Informatica provides a separate zip file to install the command line utilities on a machine that does not have the Informatica products installed.
  1. 1. Contact Informatica Global Customer Support to get the command line utilities zip file.
  2. 2. Extract the files to the machine where you want to run the command line utilities.
  3. 3. On Windows, install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 redistributable package included in the extracted files. Run the 32-bit or 64-bit file located in the following directory:
    4. <Utilities installation directory>/PowerCenter/server/VS2013
    Informatica products on Windows require the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 redistributable package. When you install the Informatica services or the Informatica clients, the installer installs the redistributable package for you. When you install the standalone command line utilities, the redistributable package is included in the extracted files, and you must manually install the package.
