Issue/Introduction

This article provide step-by-step details for installing the Agent Plugin for Informatica for UNIX/Linux OS using the PowerCenter Approach.

Resolution

Reference Install and Configure WA Agent for Informatica section of the documentation for listing of libraries, drivers and other files required for the Informatica plugin to work with the release of Informatica that you are running on each respective platform.

Notes:

1. These drivers are the IDP drivers that you will need to get from the Informatica server itself or from Informatica support. 
2. Windows drivers will not work on Linux/UNIX systems. Neither will Linux/UNIX drivers work on Windows.

• After gathering the required IDP files,Copy them directly into the <agent_install_directory>.
  
  
• Further down page, there's a section that talks about JARS.
  • Download log4j-license.txt & log4j-1.2.8.jar from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/log4j/log4j/1.2.8 and save them in the <agent_install_directory>/jars/ext directory located beneath the root of the agent.
  • Copy the pmserversdk.jar and jlmapi.jar files from your Informatica server; as documented, into the <agent_install_directory>/jars/ext directory.
     
• Install the Informatica Plugin
  • Execute the PluginInstaller script as advised in the documentation and provide appropriate responses to the interview questions with respect to your Informatica environment. 
    Note: You will need to work with your Informatica support team if you are unsure about responses to any of the interview questions.
    
    
• Now that the plugin is installed, return to the documentation. Look for section titled "List of .res, .dat, .bin files"
  • Copy the 4 files mentioned from the Informatica server location as documented to the <agent_install_directory>/config/informatica/locale directory.
     
• Create a directory called security in the <agent_install_directory>/config/informatica/ directory
