Run the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool

1. Log in to the machine with a system user account.
2. Close all other applications.
3. On a shell command line, run the install.sh file from the root directory.
The installer displays the message to verify that the locale environment variables are set.
4. If the environment variables are not set, press n to exit the installer and set them as required.
If the environment variables are set, press y to continue.
5. Press 1 to install or upgrade Informatica.
6. Press 1 to run the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool that verifies whether the machine meets the system requirements for the installation or upgrade.
7. From the Informatica Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool Welcome section, press Enter.
The System Information section appears.
8. Type the absolute path for the installation directory.
The directory names in the path must not contain spaces or the following special characters: @|* $ # ! % ( ) { } [ ] , ; '
Note: Informatica recommends using alphanumeric characters in the installation directory path. If you use a special character such as á or €, unexpected results might occur at run time.
9. Press Enter.
10. Enter the starting port number for the node that you will create or upgrade on the machine. The default port number for the node is 6005.
11. Press Enter.
The Database and Connection Information section appears.
12. To enter the JDBC connection information using a custom JDBC connection string, press 1. To enter the JDBC connection information using the JDBC URL information, press 2.
To connect to a secure database, you must enter the JDBC connection using a custom JDBC connection string.
13. Enter the JDBC connection information.
• - To enter the connection information using a custom JDBC connection string, type the connection string and specify the connection parameters.
Use the following syntax in the JDBC connection string:

IBM DB2

jdbc:Informatica:db2://host_name:port_no;DatabaseName=

Oracle

jdbc:Informatica:oracle://host_name:port_no;ServiceName=

Microsoft SQL Server

jdbc:Informatica:sqlserver://host_name:port_no;SelectMethod=cursor;DatabaseName=

Sybase

jdbc:Informatica:sybase://host_name:port_no;DatabaseName=

Verify that the connection string contains all the connection parameters required by your database system.
• - To enter the connection information using the JDBC URL information, specify the JDBC URL properties.
The following table describes the connection information:

Prompt	Description
Database type	Type of database for the domain configuration repository. Select from the following database types: - 1 - Oracle - 2 - Microsoft SQL Server - 3 - IBM DB2 - 4 - Sybase ASE
Database user ID	User ID for the database user account for the domain configuration repository.
Database user password	Password for the database user account.
Database host name	Host name for the database server.
Database port number	Port number for the database.
Database service name	Service name for Oracle and IBM DB2 databases or database name for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase ASE.

• - To connect to a secure database, select 1 to use a custom string and type the connection string.
You must include the security parameters in addition to the connection parameters. For information about the security parameters you must include in the JDBC connection for a secure database, see Connection String to a Secure Database.
The tool checks the settings of the hard drive, the availability of the ports, and the configuration of the database. After the system check is complete, the System Check Summary section displays the results of the system check.
14. Analyze the results of the system check.
Each requirement is listed, along with one of the following check statuses:
• - [Pass] - The requirement meets the criteria for the Informatica installation or upgrade.
• - [Fail] - The requirement does not meet the criteria for the Informatica installation or upgrade. Resolve the issue before you proceed with the installation or upgrade.
• - [Information] - Verify the information and perform any additional tasks as outlined in the details.
The results of the system check are saved to the following file: .../Server/i10Pi/i10Pi/en/i10Pi_summary.txt
15. Press Enter to close the Pre-Installation (i10Pi) System Check Tool.
You can continue to the Informatica service installation or upgrade immediately or end the system check and continue with the installation or upgrade later. If you continue to the installation or upgrade immediately, you do not have to restart the installer.
16. To continue to the Informatica service installation or upgrade immediately, press y.
To end the system check and continue with the installation or upgrade later, press n.
