11 Data Management Assembly for Informatica Upgrade

For a list of the supported upgrade paths, see Supported Upgrade Paths.

To upgrade the OHF Data Management Assembly for Informatica, follow the instructions below:

  1. Check Prerequisites

  2. Prepare the Installer

  3. Run the Installer

  4. Check the Installation

11.1 Check Prerequisites

The user is familiar with Oracle Database (DB), Informatica, and Linux OS.
The OHF Data Model is installed.

Follow the instructions in Chapter 2, "Data Model Installation" or Chapter 9, "Data Model Upgrade".

Make sure that the database compatible parameter is set to 12.1.0.2.0 by connecting to the DBA user and running the query below:
select * from v$parameter where name = 'compatible';

If the parameter is not set to 12.1.0.2.0, ask your database administrator to set it.

OHF uses separate HMC schemas for the WIL and HCD loaders. If you have a common HMC schema for OHADI (WIL) and HCD, designate different HMC schemas for WIL (the existing HMC) and HCD (the new HMC_HCD) by performing the following steps:
  1. Create a new HMC schema for HCD loaders. For example: HMC_HCD.

  2. Provide the newly created HMC_HCD schema with the same privileges as the existing HMC schema.

  3. Move the HCD* tables from the existing HMC schema to the new HMC_HCD schema and remove them from existing HMC schema.

The Informatica domain is running and no user is connected to the Informatica Admin Console.
Informatica services can connect to the Data Model 7.1.1 database mentioned in the Oracle TNS file (TNS entries of the required database must be available in the installation server tnsnames.ora file).
You can connect the database using EZCONNECT syntax. For example, sqlplus <user>/<password>@<hostname>:<port>/<service name>.
The password expiry notification message does not display for the system user or the existing schemas.
The installer is run on the system where the Informatica server is installed.
The terminology loaders source file location exists. The installer creates an archive directory. For example,

/scratch/home/oemora/TL_Source is the source file location specified during installation, which already exists.

/scratch/home/oemora/TL_Archive_Files is created by the installer as the archive directory.

The path of the data file (Configuration schema/Repository schema tablespace) mentioned when creating the tablespace is correct. Make sure that the database user has write privileges.
Enough space is available in the installation directory and the Oracle Home directory.
The Sqlplus utility is available on the installation server.
The impdp utility is available on the repository database server.
The installation user has read, write, and execute privileges to the $INFA_HOME/server folder. The installer creates product specific folders and parameter files under this location.
For remote installations, where the installation server and the Informatica Repository Database are on different machines, make sure that:
  • The remote database server directory is mounted to the installation server with appropriate read and write privileges.

  • The remote directories are accessible after mounting from the installation server.

  • The Linux user of the remote server, who executes the Oracle process, has privilege 755 for the directory (datapump).

  • The Oracle user has privilege for the mount path directory.

  • If the repository DB is on an Exadata machine, the repository DB single node (the node which is mounted) TNSENTRY should be added to the tnsnames.ora file on the installation server. After installation, revert TNSENTRY to the original entry.

GLOBAL_NAMES database initialization parameter is set to false.
Back up the following csv files under $INFORMATICA_HOME/server/infa_shared/SrcFiles if it exists:
  • bus_susp_day.csv

  • daylght_svngs_day.csv

  • hosp_hol_day.csv

  • time_am.csv

  • time_pm.csv

If the Terminology Loaders source folder is shared, make a back up of the following files:
  • Code Axes.txt

  • Code Descriptions.txt

  • Code Hierarchy.txt

  • Code.txt

  • Related Entity.txt

  • Relations Type.txt

  • Relations.txt

  • Relationship Type.txt

  • time.txt

The installer will overwrite any existing files from the list above.

If any previous ETLs are in the failed status, make sure that they execute successfully before upgrading.
Make sure that the data models are upgraded to OHF 7.1.1.
The OUI displays default configuration schema (hmc) names. You must change these schema names to the existing hmc schema names.

The installer upgrades the configuration schemas to OHF 7.1.1.

Back up the existing hmc schemas.

11.2 Prepare the Installer

Extract the contents of the OHF media pack to your system.
Navigate to the <media_pack_location>/ folder.
Unzip the OHF_V711_Linux-x64.zip file where you want to launch the installer using the following command:

unzip -a OHF_V711_Linux-x64.zip

Navigate to the Disk1/install folder.
Change the protection on files as follows:

chmod 755 *


11.3 Run the Installer

Start the Oracle Universal Installer by running the following command:

  • If the Informatica repository schemas to be created are on the database instance of the installation server, execute:

    sh runInstaller.sh -local

  • If the Informatica repository database or OHF data model database is on the database instance of another server, execute:

    sh runInstaller.sh -local remote_installation=true

where, the -local option is to install on the local node irrespective of the cluster nodes specified on the installer machine.


Screen Action
Welcome Click Next.
Select a Product to Install Select the Oracle Healthcare Foundation Data Management Assembly for Informatica 7.1.1.0.0 option.
Specify Home Details Enter or select the installation home path.
Verify Installation Prerequisites Verify if all the prerequisites are met before proceeding.
Oracle Home Configuration Specify the Oracle client home path.
Select the Informatica Home Location Specify the Informatica home location.

The Informatica home should be one level above the /server directory. For example, <path>/Informatica/961/.

Select Database Server for Informatica Repository Schemas Select one of the following options for the Informatica repository schemas:
  • If the Informatica repository database server is on the installation server, select the Installation database server option, and skip the next step.

  • For remote installations, select the Remote database server option, and go to the next step.

Specify Mount Path Details (applicable only for remote installations) Enter the following mounted directory configuration details in which the remote server directory is mounted:
  • Mount path in the repository database server - Remote server path

  • Mount path in the installation server - Path on the installation server where the mounting is performed

To obtain the available storage drives, on the Linux machine, execute the df -h command. If the remote server directory is mounted on the installation server, the mounting is displayed as follows:

<Remote Server name>:<Remote server path>
        <total size>  <used up space>  <Available space>  <use%> <Path in installation server where mounting was done>

For example,

abc:/scratch/dump
         191G 138G 44G 76% /installation server

Note:

  • The (datapump) directory of the remote database server should be mounted to the installation server with appropriate read and write privileges for the IMPDB utility (folder with dba group).

  • Make sure that the remote directories are accessible after mounting from the installation server.

  • If the remote server mounted path is displayed as /, provide the absolute mounted path of the remote server.

  • The remote server Linux user that executes the Oracle process, must have minimum privilege of 755 to the directory.
