Installing and Configuring the Informatica Repository Server on UNIX

If you are using a non-ENU operating system, make sure you have all the required locale files installed.

Install the Informatica software directly from the CD-ROM. If you cannot install the software directly from the CD-ROM, you must use FTP in binary mode; otherwise, the installation will fail. After the FTP process, use the chmod command to change the permission setting for all install files to read, write, and execute.
