Metadata Manager Service
After you upgrade, complete the post-upgrade tasks for each Metadata Manager Service. Enable the Metadata Manager Service when you perform the post-upgrade tasks. You must upgrade to the Metadata Manager 9.1.0 before you upgrade to Metadata Manager 9.5.0.
Convert Metadata Manager Resources
The business intelligence, data modeling, and JDBC resources have new model and representation in Metadata Manager 9.5.0.
During the upgrade, Metadata Manager marks the existing business intelligence, data modeling, and JDBC resources as deprecated. You cannot edit or reload the deprecated resources. Instead, for each deprecated resource, you must create, configure and load an equivalent new resource. You will lose all the personalization in deprecated resources and must redo all personalization in the new resources. After you have converted a deprecated resource, you can delete the deprecated resource.
Reload Metadata Manager Resources
Before you can use Metadata Manager after the upgrade, you must reload all the resources.
To ensure that the connection assignments are proper, do resource conversion and load the resources in the following order:
- 1. Convert each deprecated JDBC resource to an equivalent new JDBC resource.
- 2. Reload all database management resources.
- 3. Convert each deprecated business intelligence or data modeling resource to an equivalent new resource.
- 4. Reload each of the business intelligence, data modeling, PowerCenter, ERP, and custom resources.
- 5. Recreate any personalization.
- 6. Delete the deprecated resources.
For example, suppose you have resources of the following types:
- •Database management - JDBC, Oracle
- •Data integration - PowerCenter
- •Data modeling - ER/win
- •Business intelligence - Cognos
After you upgrade to Metadata Manager 9.5.0, the JDBC, ER/win, and Cognos resources are marked as deprecated.
Perform resource conversion and load the resources in the following order:
- 1. Convert the JDBC resource.
- 2. Load JDBC and Oracle resources.
- 3. Convert ER/win and Cognos resources.
- 4. Load PowerCenter, ER/win, and Cognos resources.
- 5. Recreate any personalization.
- 6. Delete the deprecated resources.
Update the Metadata Manager Properties File
Compare the imm.properties file in the previous installation directory with the 9.5.0 version. Update the 9.5.0 version of the imm. properties file as required.
The 9.5.0 version of the imm.properties file is in the following directory:
<Informatica installation directory>\services\shared\jars\pc\classes
The changes take effect when you enable the Metadata Manager Service.
