Configuring the DAC Client and Server on Solaris and AIX

To configure the DAC client and server on Solaris and AIX, follow the instruction for configuring the DAC client and server on Windows in Setting Up the DAC Client and Setting Up the DAC Server as well as the instructions in this section.

The appropriate files for Solaris and AIX have .sh extension.

To configure the DAC client and server on Solaris and AIX

  1. Make sure that the shell from which the DAC client or server is started has the database connectivity environment correctly setup if you are using either the Oracle OCI driver or the DB2 native driver. If you are using the SQL Server driver or the Oracle Thin driver this step is not necessary.
  2. Make sure the information environment is set up correctly.
    • For csh-shell or its related shell:

      If Informatica is installed in the directory /export/home/informatica621, then on Solaris, the appropriate variables to set are the following:

    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/export/home/informatica621/pm

    setenv PATH ${PATH}:/export/home/informatica621/pm

    setenv PM_HOME /export/home/informatica621/pm

    On AIX, the appropriate variables to set are the following:

    setenv LIBPATH ${LIBPATH}:/export/home/informatica621/pm

    setenv PATH ${PATH}:/export/home/informatica621/pm

    setenv PM_HOME /export/home/informatica621/pm

    • If you are using bash-shell or shells with a similar syntax, then change the entry as follows:

      Change:

    setenv PATH ${PATH}/export/home/informatica/pm

    To:

    export PM_HOME="/export/home/informatica/pm"

    NOTE:  On Solaris, the recommended JVM is the Sun J2SDK 1.4.1 and on AIX it is IBM JDK 1.4

  3. If you are installing the DAC server on AIX, do the following:
    1. Launch the DAC client, and navigate to Setup  > DAC System Properties.
    2. Change the value of DAC Server OS to AIX.
    3. Close the DAC client, and launch it again.
    4. Navigate to Setup > Informatica Servers and reenter all the password fields.
    5. Navigate to Setup > Database Connections and reenter all the password fields.
