Starting A Server Using Unix

1) To start the Informatica services on Unix, verify the repository database is running and log into the Informatica server using the Unix admin ID. 2) Navigate to the /server/tomcat/bin directory under the Informatica installation directory and run the infaservice.sh startup script. 3) Check that the repository, integration, and Java services are running using the ps command to verify the expected processes are active.

Starting INFORMATICA SERVER using UNIX

Please specify the Unix version used ( e.g. HP-UX ) . In order to start the Informatica
services on Unix ,which includes Repository services & Integration services ,please do
the following :

1) Verify with DBA or if you can find that Repository Database( Oracle,DB2 etc depends
on setup ) is up and running .

2) Log in to Informatica server using Unix admin id .

3) Check if the Informatica Services are still running by using following command :

ps -ef | grep pmserver


If no results are returned it means Informatica server is not running .

4) Another way to check would be using Internet explorer browser and trying to log in to
admin console ,the url is usually like this (works on most version of informatica ) :
http://<domain host name>:<port no>/adminconsole

If you see the message "Page not displayed" ,you can be sure Informatica service is not
running .

5) On the Unix box then go to the directory where Informatica is installed . If the .profile
is set up correctly and environment variables are set you can use $INFA_HOME .
As an example : It is usually at :
/opt/informatica/811/server/tomcat/bin
( Note 811 is version of informatica ,important thing is locate the /server/tomcat/bin
directory .)

6) In that directory you will find a script called infaservice.sh .All you have to do is type
the command infaservice.sh startup and press enter .
It will take few minutes and all services should be up and running including the
Repository services .

7) Double check by running the following commands :

At the command prompt, type:


ps –ef | grep <user id with which you logged in>
Note: There should be 3 processes running on the informatica server, they are:
1. java –Duser.dir = Domain
2. pmrepagent = Repository Service
3. pmserver = Integration Service

You might also want to check the admin console as in step 4 .


Depending on the Informatica Infrastructure setup it is possible that Informatica is setup
on Grid which means there might be several Nodes ( machines ) which host the services .
If it is on Grid you will have to start Informatica on all the Nodes .

Generally any mapping is run from UNIX i..e UNIX shell script calls work flow.work
flow intern calls mapping. Suppose i am generating a flat file in unix from informatica
mapping if i need to keep track of file when it has come today or yesterday...... For this
append the trgt tbl name with current date time stamp. In order to achieve u can use Unix
shell script in post session command. A samll example i have given ...............U can do a
lot ...........If you are using doing MLOAD or Fload.Here even u can sort the flat file
generated before doing Mload or Fload.

To start
Use command pmserver
To shut down
go to pmcmd
Use
Connect -s ipaddress:port number -u username -p password
Eg Connect -s 172.17.206.232:4001 -u infodbo -p infodbo
Then
shutdownserver -complete
