So here we start..

STEP5:- On the next screen locate the license file (Oracle_All_OS_Prod.key) and provide the path here. This file came with the downloaded package. See part 1 Step 8 to get this file.

Also provide the path where you want to install Informatica. Keep default if you do not want to change. Press Next.

STEP9:- In the next screen provide any string which follows the password standards as it will be used as an encryption key. It is used when you move a repository to another domain. We do not need this for normal functioning of Informatica. But keep this key safe, just in case you need it. You will get below message after you select Next on this screen

Infa18

STEP10:- In the next screen you will be asked to enter details for the domain you are creating like the name, port, host and Administrator user etc. Provide the information as per the screenshot below. Whatever you provide keep the details safe as you will need it when we configure the repository. The Administrator user mentioned here  is used to login to the Admin console, therefore keep the password safe. Press Next

Infa19

STEP11:- In the next screen uncheck the box as you would like to run the Informatica service with the same user as your windows account.

STEP12:- Click Next and you are Done installing the Informatica Server on your machine.

  1. Hi

    While configuring the database for the domain my test connection getting failed every time.
    Error Message: Correct the database connection information and test the connection again.

  2. Hi!
    DuringSTEP 1 the opening of the batch file caused it to show some text briefly and close. The text is like (it was kinda hard to get it ’cause the window was closing very quickly):

    Error: Registry key ‘Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime
    Error: could not find java.dll
    Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

    What is the problem?

  3. nicely done Raghav. I appreciate your efforts.
    it would be much easier if you could keep the screenshots little bit better quality images.

  4. Great install thanks a lot!

    Couple points if installing on Windows 10:
    – Make sure you grant CONNECT priv’s (in addition to resource and dba) on infa_dom or you won’t be able to connect to Informatica domain during server install.
    – before altering a user, it is usually helpful to run the following command after connecting to your pluggable database:
    alter session set “_ORACLE_SCRIPT”=true;
