Installation and Configuration

This section describes notices related to big data installation and configuration in version 10.2.2.

OpenJDK

Effective in version 10.2.2, Informatica installer packages OpenJDK (AzulJDK). The supported Java version is Azul OpenJDK 1.8.192.

You can use the OpenJDK to deploy Enterprise Data Catalog on an embedded cluster. To deploy Enterprise Data Catalog on an existing cluster, you must install JDK 1.8 on all the cluster nodes.

Informatica dropped support of the Data Integration Service property for the execution option, JDK Home Directory. Sqoop mappings on the Spark engine use the Java Development Kit (JDK) packed with the Informatica installer.

Previously, the installer used the Oracle Java packaged with the installer. You also had to install the JDK and then specify the JDK installation directory in the Data Integration Service machine to run Sqoop mappings, mass ingestion specifications that use a Sqoop connection on the Spark engine, or to process a Java transformation on the Spark engine.

Installer Code Signing

Effective in version 10.2.2, Informatica uses a certificate based digital signature to sign the Informatica software code. The code sign helps to validate and secure code from any form of tampering after the digital signature of the installer code.

Informatica packages the public key, signature, and hash of the file in the installer bundle. After Informatica signs the software bundle, you can contact Informatica Global Customer Support to access the public key.

For more information about the installer code signing process or on how a customer can verify that the signed code is authentic, see the Informatica Big Data Suite 10.2.2 Installation and Configuration Guide.

Resume the Installer

Effective in version 10.2.2, you can resume the installation process from the point of failure or exit. If a service fails or if the installation process fails during a service creation, you can resume the installation process with the server installer. You cannot resume the installer if you are running it to configure services after the services have been created. When you join the domain, you also cannot resume the installer.

For more information about resuming the installer, see the Informatica Big Data Suite 10.2.2 Installation and Configuration Guide.

Informatica Docker Utility

Effective in version 10.2.2, you can use the Informatica Docker utility to quickly install the Informatica domain.

When you run the Informatica Docker utility, you can build the Informatica docker image with the base operating system and Informatica binaries. You can run the existing docker image to configure the Informatica domain. When you run the Informatica docker image, you can create a domain or join a domain. You can create the Model Repository Service, Data Integration Service, and cluster configuration during the container creation.

For more information about the Informatica Docker Utility, see How to Install Big Data Management 10.2.2 Using a Docker Utility article on the Informatica Network.

For more information, see the Informatica Big Data Suite 10.2.2 Installation and Configuration Guide.

Configure Enterprise Data Lake

If you install the Enterprise Data Lake binaries on a node on which the Informatica services are installed, you can use the installer to configure the Enterprise Data Lake services on the node.
