3 Setup of Database Parameters, Users & Tablespace
3.1 DATABASE PARAMETER
Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursor;
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
open_cursors integer 300
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER system SET open_cursors=1000 SCOPE=BOTH;
System altered.
SQL> SHOW parameter open_cursors;
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
open_cursors integer 1000
3.2 REPOSITORY ACCOUNT
At least two database user accounts (Domain and Repository) are required to host repository, Taking sample names as
USER_REP for the repository Database
USER_DOM for the domain Configuration Database
Both user need to create with the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW privileges.
For Oracle, you must perform the following instruction:
CREATE USER USER_REP IDENTIFIED BY USER_REP
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW TO USER_REP;
CREATE USER UASER_DOM IDENTIFIED BY USER_DOM
DEFAULT tablespace users
TEMPORARY tablespace temp
quota unlimited ON users;
GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW, SELECT ANY dictionary TO USER_DOM;
The grant "select dictionary privilege" to the user INFA_DOM is only needed to verify the parameter Open_Cursor during the prerequisite check.
3.3 Repository Table-space
Set the storage size for the table-space to a small number to prevent the repository from using an excessive amount of space.
Also verify that the default tablespace for the user that owns the repository tables is set to a small size. The following example shows how to set the recommended storage parameter for a tablespace named PC_TABLESPACE.
ALTER TABLESPACE "PC_TABLESPACE" DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 10K NEXT 10K MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED PCTINCREASE 50 );
4 Operating System
4.1 Processor
Verify that the process match the software (x86_64)
Display the Linux platform = uname - p
List the basic system information, OS release, and OS version = uname -orv
-bash-3.2$ uname -p
x86_64
-bash-3.2$ uname –arv
Linux ServerName 12.66.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 04:15:13 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
4.2 TEMPORARY DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The installer writes temporary files to the hard disk. When the installation completes, the installer deletes the temporary files and releases the disk space.
Installer UNIX | 1 GB |
Informatica Services UNIX | 2 GB |
Verification of the temporary space with the df
-bash-3.2$ df -h /tmp
4.3 UNIX USER ACCOUNT
On UNIX, create a user account infa91 specifically to run the Informatica daemon required for installation having group privileges' on Oracle and java groups
4.4 PORT VALIDATION
Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you install Informatica Services.
-bash-3.2$ netstat -tulpn|grep 6005
The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.
-bash-3.2$ netstat -tulpn|grep 6001
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 :::6001 :::* LISTEN 4935/java
-bash-3.2$ netstat -tulpn|grep 6002
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:6002 :::* LISTEN 4935/java
-bash-3.2$ netstat -tulpn|grep 6003
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
-bash-3.2$ netstat -tulpn|grep 6004
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
5 Environment Variables
Most UNIX systems use the LANG variable to specify the desired locale but you can use also the set locale function.
5.1 OBTAIN THE LOCALE VALUES
To obtain the locale names for your UNIX system, enter the following:
infa@chetltst201 $ locale -a | grep -i en
en_AU
en_AU.iso88591
en_AU.utf8
en_BW
en_BW.iso88591
en_BW.utf8

6 File Descriptor
Informatica service processes can use a large number of files. Set the Linux - File Descriptorlimit per process to 3000 or higher.
In the file /etc/security/limits.conf, add this line:
# PowerCenter
Infa91 hard nofile 3001
Infa91 soft nofile 2500
And verify with the ulimit function logged as the power center system user account:
-bash-3.2$ ulimit -Hn
3001
The limit is set to 3001 to prevent an error with the value 300 during the prerequisites check
7 Installation directory and Permission
As root, create the installation base directory:
Pwd
/infa
mkdir /informatica
chown 755 informatica
cd informatica
mkdir pc91
chown 755 pc91
cd /infa
mkdir software
chmod 755 software
As the installer (powercenter), copy the file to software directory, unzip and untar it:
-bash-3.2$ tar -xf 910HF3_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 infa91 infadmin 3990835200 May 1 19:30 910HF3_Server_Installer_linux-x64.tar

10 Port Configuration
Port Type | Default | Description |
Domain port | 6005 | Port number used by the domain. |
Service Manager port | 6006 | Port number used by the Service Manager on the node. The Service Manager listens for incoming connection requests on this port. Client applications use this port to communicate with the services in the domain. This is the port that the Informatica command line programs use to communicate to the domain. This is also the port for the SQL data service JDBC/ODBC driver. |
Service Manager shutdown port | 6008 | Port number that controls server shutdown for the domain Service Manager. The Service Manager listens for shutdown commands on this port. |
Informatica Administrator port | 6007 | Port number used by the Administrator tool. |
Informatica Administrator shutdown port | 6009 | Port number that controls server shutdown for the Administrator tool. The Administrator tool listens for shutdown commands on this port. |
Range of ports for application services | 6013 to 6113 | Range of port numbers that can be assigned to the application service processes that run on the node. When you create an application service in the domain, the Service Manager assigns the first available port in this range to the service process. At a minimum, the number of ports in the range must be equal to the number of application service processes that will run on the node. |
10.1 Guidelines for Port Configuration
Use the following guidelines to determine the port numbers:
- The port number you specify for the domain and for each component in the domain must be unique.
- The port number for the domain and domain components cannot be within the range of the port numbers that you specify for the application service processes.
- The highest number in the range of port numbers that you specify must be at least three numbers higher than the lowest port number. For example, if the minimum port number in the range is 6400, the maximum port number must be at least 6403.
- The port numbers that you specify for the domain, domain and node components, and application service processes cannot be lower than 1025 or higher than 65535.
- Login to the Administration console with the Administrator user (Administration/Administrator)
