INFA_HOME=/Informatica/Informatica_9.1; export INFA_HOME
export ODBCHOME=$INFA_HOME/ODBC6.1
export ODBCINI=$ODBCHOME/odbc.ini
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Informatica/Informatica_9.1/server/bin:$ODBCHOME/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH




2.      Change the Host Name in the opb_reposit schema in inf_rep
-         The host name mentioned in the opb_reposit would be of the production hostname. The hostname has to be changed to the current box gaxpoa152vu. Run the following scripts

update opb_reposit
set reposit_name='hostname'
where recid=2 and dataversion=6005;

commit;
 


1.       Login to the Admin Console and click on Create a Repository Services




2.      Enter the Repository Name and choose the node and the license.
Note : The Repository Name should be the same as that of the Production Name





3.      Enter the Schema information of the new environment where the 8.1 tables have been copied over. Choose the option ‘Content exists in specified connection string. Do not create a new content’




4.      Once you click on finish you will be directed to the screen with the message mentioned below



5.      Once you see the message it means that the Informatica 9.1 has recognized the tables and is ready for the upgrade process. For the upgrade process to be initiated go to the right corned

10.    For Resolution choose the option merge with current user option





11.    After clicking on the option Upgrade the users and groups have been upgraded successfully



12.    After this process we have to create the Integration services. For this we have to make sure the Repository Properties Operation Mode is changed from Exclusive to Normal.




13.    Once the Operation mode is changed disable and enable the service once again. Then in Domain choose the option to create a New Integration Services
