Prepare the Secure Agent for Upgrade
The Secure Agent upgrades the first time that you access the Informatica Cloud Fall 2016 release. To ensure that the Secure Agent upgrades properly, you must prepare each machine where the Secure Agent runs before the Informatica Cloud Fall 2016 upgrade.
Perform the following steps to ensure that the Secure Agent is ready for the upgrade:
- 1. Ensure that each Secure Agent machine has sufficient disk space available for upgrade. To calculate the free space required for upgrade, use the following formula:
Minimum required free space = 2 * (size of current <Secure Agent installation directory>) + 1 GB
- 2. Back up third-party libraries, security certificates, private patches, and configuration files that you have added to the following directory:
<Secure Agent installation directory>/main
Copy these files to the following directory:
<Secure Agent installation directory>/main/bin/rdtm-extra
Files in this location will be preserved after the upgrade and copied to the following directory:
<Secure Agent installation directory>/main/bin/rdtm
For example, you might want to back up the following configuration files:
- - Microsoft Dynamics CRM krb5.conf file
- - Microsoft Dynamics CRM login.conf file
- 3. Ensure that no tasks run during the maintenance window. If you use Informatica Cloud to schedule tasks, you can configure a blackout period for the organization. Click Configure > Schedules > Blackout Period.
- 4. Close all applications and open files to avoid file lock issues, for example:
- - Windows Explorer
- - Notepad
- - Windows Command Processor (cmd.exe)
