Informatica 9.0.1 Server Installation Guide

This article provides complete step by step instruction for installation and configuration of

Informatica PowerCenter 9.x. This includes the installation of server components, configuration

of different Informatica services and client installation and configuration.

Pre-requisites of Informatica Installation

It is needed to create a schema in an oracle database while installing Informatica server. This

schema will be have the metadata repository. And this data will be used by Informatica both

server and client. Metadata can include information such as mappings describing how to

transform source data, sessions indicating when you want the Informatica Server to perform the

transformations, and connect strings for sources and targets.

Script to create a tablespace in Oracle Database:

CREATE TABLESPACE BIA_PROD_TS DATAFILE 'C:\app\new16\oradata\orcl\bia_prod_ts.dbf' SIZE 100M AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE 500M;

Script to create schema to hold metadata:

CREATE USER biaproddb

IDENTIFIED BY biaproddb

DEFAULT TABLESPACE BIA_PROD_TS

TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP

PROFILE DEFAULT

ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

Script to extend password life to lifetime:

ALTER profile DEFAULT limit password_life_time UNLIMITED;

Script to create role that will be given to user:

Create role SSE_ROLE;

Grant connect, resource to SSE_ROLE;

Grant select any table to SSE_ROLE;

Grant create session to SSE_ROLE;

Grant insert any table, delete any table, update any table to SSE_ROLE;

Script to create schema to hold metadata:

GRANT SSE_ROLE TO biaproddb;

GRANT GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE TO biaproddb;

GRANT CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW TO biaproddb;

GRANT CREATE TABLE TO biaproddb;

GRANT CREATE ANY VIEW, DROP ANY VIEW TO biaproddb;
