Apply and Rollback the HotFix

When you apply the hotfix, the installer backs up existing directories, installs the new version of the
product, and restores or updates required configuration and run-time files.
Informatica provides separate installers to apply hotfixes to the Informatica services and clients. To
apply the Informatica hotfix, complete the following steps:
1. Complete the pre-installation tasks.
2. Apply the hotfix to the Informatica services in graphical, console, or silent mode.
3. Complete the post-installation tasks for the Informatica services.
4. Apply the hotfix to the Informatica clients in graphical or silent mode. If you are applying the hotfix to
Informatica Developer, verify that the Informatica client hotfix version matches the Informatica
services hotfix version.
Note: If the Informatica client hotfix version does not match the Informatica services hotfix version,
Informatica Developer will not be able to connect to the domain.
When you roll back a hotfix, the installer restores Informatica to the previously installed version. The
installer rolls back the hotfix for the Informatica services and clients at the same time. To apply the
Informatica rollback, complete the following steps:
2. Apply the rollback in graphical, console or silent mode.
3. Complete the post-installation tasks.
On Windows, you can run the installer in graphical or silent mode. On UNIX, you can run the installer in
graphical, console, or silent mode.
Applying the Informatica Hotfix

If you accidentally perform the rollback instead of applying the hotfix, you must cancel the rollback and
run the installer again to apply the hotfix.
If you accidentally perform the rollback instead of applying the hotfix, the following message appears
when you click Install at the Pre-Installation Summary page:
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\<server or clients> File/Folder is in use or does not
exist.
Please close all the processes/applications accessing this folder.
If you click Previous to return to the installer Welcome page, select Apply the hotfix, and complete the
hotfix installation, the installer does not copy the folder and file structure in full, which results in an
incomplete hotfix installation.

To work around the issue, exit the installer and start the hotfix installation again.
1. Click OK to close the error message.
2. Click Cancel to quit the installation.
3. Run the install.bat or install.sh command again to perform the hotfix installation.

repository, Data Analyzer repository, Data Profiling warehouse, and Metadata Manager
warehouse. For Data Transformation, also back up the ServiceDB repository.
For Data Explorer, Data Quality, and Data Services, back up the Model repository and profiling
warehouse.
7. If you are applying a hotfix and you have a Metadata Manager Service, back up the Metadata
Manager imm.properties file.
8. If you are applying a hotfix and you have a Reporting and Dashboards Service, export the Jaspersoft
repository resources. Verify that the default_master.properties file contains valid data.
9. Download the hotfix installation package for your platform.
10. Unzip or untar the contents of the hotfix installation package.
Note: On Windows, the length of the entire installation directory path, including the zip file name,
must be 60 characters or less. On UNIX, use native tar or GNU tar to extract the installer files. The
user that runs the installer must have read and write permissions on the installer files directory and

version.
The Post-Installation Summary page appears, indicating whether the hotfix or rollback completed
successfully.
10. Verify that the hotfix or rollback completed successfully.
Applying or Rolling Back the HotFix in Console Mode

When you run the installer in console mode, the words Quit and Back are reserved words. Do not use
them as input text.

Uninstalling Informatica Services or Clients on Windows

If you install the Informatica services and Informatica clients on the same machine, uninstalling
Informatica removes the ODBC directory. This issue affect installation on Windows.
When you install the Informatica services, the installer creates an ODBC entry that points to the
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0 directory. If you install the Informatica clients on the same
machine, the installer updates the ODBC entry to point to the <InformaticaInstallationDir>\clients\tools
\ODBC7.0 directory. If you uninstall the Informatica clients, the uninstaller deletes the
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\clients\tools\ODBC7.0 directory, to which the ODBC entry still points.
Similarly, when you install the Informatica clients, the installer creates an ODBC entry that points to the
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\clients\tools\ODBC7.0 directory. If you install the Informatica services on the
same machine, the installer updates the ODBC entry to point to the <InformaticaInstallationDir>
IN_RLN_95100_HF4_0001 11
\ODBC7.0 directory. If you uninstall the Informatica services, the uninstaller deletes the
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0 directory, to which the ODBC entry still points.
After you uninstall the Informatica services or clients, restore the ODBC7.0 folder to the original location.
1. Before you uninstall the Informatica services or clients, copy the ODBC7.0 directory to a temporary
directory on your local drive. For example, if you are uninstalling the Informatica services, copy the
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC7.0 directory and its contents to C:\temp.
2. Perform the uninstallation.
3. After you uninstall the Informatica services or clients, re-create the ODBC7.0 directory path.
4. Copy the ODBC7.0 temporary directory to the ODBC7.0 directory. For example, if you uninstalled
the Informatica services, copy the ODBC7.0 folder and its contents to <InformaticaInstallationDir>.

CR Description
306779 If you run a mapping in PowerCenter that searches for duplicate identities, PowerCenter does not
assign duplicate records to the same cluster. PowerCenter creates a cluster for each record in the
input data.
306759 A Human task fails to run on SUSE Linux 11 64-bit systems and Red Hat 6.1 32-bit systems.
306410 You cannot create a reference table with the same name as a deleted reference table. The table
name remains in the registry table after you delete the object from the Model repository and
delete the table from the reference database.
305824 The process to export an address validation mapping to PowerCenter generates errors in the
following scenario:
- The Address Validator transformation specifies more than one execution instance.
- The Address Validator transformation uses one or more ports from the U.S. Specific group, and any port name
exceeds 80 characters in length.
305612 When you correct exceptions in Informatica Data Director for Data Quality, the Replace All option
does not replace all specified values in the task data.
305393 A mapping that includes a Match transformation fails in PowerCenter on a zLinux SUSE system.
304361 If you attempt to rename a reference table that contains integer or bigint datatypes, the rename
operation fails.
288683 An error occurs when the length of the reference table column name is longer than the limits set
by the database.
Workaround: Reduce the length of the column name when you create the reference table.
287992 The Data Integration Services can consume excessive memory and stop unexpectedly when you
run multiple consecutive address validation mappings.
Workaround: Review the preload settings on the Content Management Service and verify that the
settings do not require more memory than the system can provide. Restart the Content
Management Service and the Data Integration Service if you edit the settings.

Data Integration Service after the master Content Management Service on the domain.
320388 When you add a date value to a reference table column of datatype date, the column is updated
with time values in addition to date values.
IN_RLN_95100_HF4_0001 75
CR Description
319554 When you run a mapping with a Classifier transformation out of process, the mapping may fail
due to excessive demands on memory. The memory required depends on the number and size of
the classifier models you add to the Classifier transformation.
Work around: increase the Java memory allocation on the Data Integration Service. Create a
JVMOption custom property on the service and set the memory on the property, for example
JVMOption1 = -Xmx640M.
265573 If you run a session with a mapping that uses an Exception transformation to write duplicate
record data to an Oracle database, you experience problems when you consolidate or extract
records in a duplicate record cluster. The Analyst tool identifies every record in the cluster as a
master record.

310869 You cannot run a mapping that contains a reusable Address Validation, Association, or
Consolidation transformation in PowerCenter if the transformation uses parameters.
310392 If the search results in the Developer tool return more than 2048 objects, search fails with the
following error: MRSI_40042 "maxClauseCount is set to 2048".
308113 You can configure an Association transformation so that an input and output port define different
datatypes for a single column of data.
306976 A Mapping task in a workflow fails if the mapping includes a reusable transformation.
306762 The Developer tool requires that users have write access to the installation directory because the
tool creates a target/ics-workspace directory within the installation directory.
306429 You cannot create a WSDL data object using SOAP 1.2 WSDL when the SOAP binding element is
not the first element under the WSDL binding element.
306339 You cannot preview data on a Java transformation after you preview data on a Parser
transformation in the same mapping if you configured the Parser transformation for probabilistic
analysis.
306205 The Data Integration Service hangs when it tries to refresh cache for logical data objects that
contain a primary key with no attribute defined.
305443 When you manually map nodes to ports in a Web Service Consumer transformation, the Developer
tool uses the default precision port value instead of the value defined in the WSDL.
305409 When you copy an object to a logical data object mapping that contains a circular reference due to
primary and foreign keys of the logical data objects, the copy process fails with a Java Heap
memory error.

305211 When you create and compile a probabilistic model in a content set, the content set does not
display the compiled status of the probabilistic model.
305201 If you close a profile and open it again after you verify the data domain discovery results in
enterprise discovery results, the column profile results do not appear.
The profile model results summary displays only the latest results and does not display the results
for all columns from multiple profile runs if the following conditions are true:
- You run the profile again within the profile model after the first profile run.
- You run the profile the second time with the same configuration options that you used for the first profile run.
- You run the profile the second time on a different set of source columns.
305090 Workflow deployment fails when the workflow contains two mappings with the same name from
different projects.
305080 If you assign the Working Directory configuration property to task input for a Command task, the
Advanced view displays an empty value for the property.
305040 The Developer tool fails to drill down on an inferred column after you run a profile to perform data
domain discovery on both column name and data with a data domain you created using a column
name rule.
304740 When you create a reference table from a relational data source and add a column for row
descriptions, the column precision changes when you open the table in the Analyst tool or export
the table from the Model repository.
304571 The Developer tool generates an error when you run a join profile if the following conditions are
true:
1. Create a join profile on multiple data objects in the profile model.
2. Specify a self join condition on columns in one of the data objects.
3. Save and run the profile.
4. Add another join condition across multiple data objects.
5. Save and run the profile.
304361 If you attempt to rename a reference table that contains integer or bigint datatypes immediately
after you create or edit the table, the rename operation fails.
304206 A Mapping task runs successfully when the user who started the workflow instance does not have
execute permission on the connection used by the mapping.
304122 You can enter any valid QName while specifying a fault code to generate a fault in a web service. A

correctly validate an address when the house number begins with a zero.
317180 A mapping fails to run with an exception error in a Hive environment when the Hive mapping
connection and the Hive source or target connection connect to different Hive metastores.
Workaround: When you run a mapping in a Hive environment, the Hive connection selected for
the Hive source or target, and the mapping must access the same Hive metastore.
314772 If you use port names that include punctuation or control characters in an expression, you might
encounter the following error when you run a mapping, preview data, or preview web service
messages:
"Problem communicating with DIS service."
Workaround: Modify the port names so that they do not include punctuation or control characters.
312563 If you compile a classifier model and the compilation process consumes the available memory,
the Developer tool does not display an error. The memory is set on the Content Management
Service, and the service writes an out of memory error to the log.

Workaround: Complete the following steps:
1. Delete the link between the Web Service Consumer Transformation input port and the Request node in the operation
input.
2. Map an input port to the Key_Request node.
3. Right-click an input port and choose the option to map as XML.
270493 Cannot connect to a web service if you specify localhost in the endpoint URL used by a Web
Service Consumer transformation.
Workaround: Specify the host name or the IP address instead of localhost in the endpoint URL.
270098 If you configure a mapping with an Oracle data source and a Match transformation set to run in
identity matching mode, and you change the data type on a source column that you connect to the
Match transformation, you cannot preview the data on the transformation.
269721 If you change a column datatype from String to Integer in a flat file data source and run a profile
on the data source after you run the profile in Informatica Analyst, you may get a run-time error
about an incorrect value for the Aggregate function.
258847 Mapping hangs on Solaris and the Data Integration Service shuts down unexpectedly if you
enable Truncate Target Table for a Teradata target.
258708 The primary key and functional dependency inference results on columns with null values may
vary depending on whether you just run the profile or validate the profile results. This variance
occurs because inference is based on the summary of null values whereas validation displays all
the records.
258707 If you apply an active filter to a profile after you run the profile without any filters, the drilldown
results may not be accurate.
Workaround: After you set the active filter, run the profile again before you drill down on a column.
257609 Mappings that contain a logical data object cannot be exported to PowerCenter if the logical data
object uses a physical data object as a source and the logical data object also contains a

256315 Mapping with a Web Service Consumer transformation returns an incorrect error message when it
processes data of a date/time datatype with min/max facets.
255827 When you preview a relational data object, the session load summary in the log file does not list
the rows rejected while reading data from the database as rejected rows.
255089 When the Data Integration Service filters or performs a lookup on char datatypes, the Data
Integration Service uses varchar semantics and therefore it does not ignore trailing spaces for the
following types of mappings:
- A mapping with a relational Lookup transformation
- A mapping that is not optimized and includes a logical data object Lookup transformation
- A mapping that is optimized and includes a logical data object Lookup transformation that contains a relational read
mapping without a pipeline
- A mapping with filter transformation logic that cannot be pushed down to the source

cannot determine a primary key column.
249655 The logical data object Lookup transformation does not return a match for a NULL input value
when the lookup source contains a NULL value.
235924 The Developer tool can specify a reference table as a parameter. It reads the parameter setting
from a different tab depending on whether you run the mapping or run a profile on the mapping.
When you run the mapping, the Developer tool looks for the parameter on the Parameters tab.
When you profile output from a mapping object, the Developer tool looks for the parameter on the
Configuration tab.
234898 If you enter a custom SQL query that contains a DDL statement in a customized data object, the
Developer tool might execute the query against the database when you validate the query.
234419 Because the Developer tool does not retain key field information for nonrelational data sources,
you cannot include an Update Strategy transformation in a Developer tool mapping for a
nonrelational data source.
224728 You cannot run a mapping that uses two Match transformations in parallel when both
transformations are set to identity match mode.
Workaround: Configure the mapping to run the Match transformations serially.
224341 If you run a mapping that writes data to a Microsoft SQL Server resource using the ODBC driver
for Microsoft SQL Server, the Data Integration Service rejects all records that contain data of type
hierarchyid.
Workaround: Use the native Microsoft SQL Server driver instead of the ODBC driver.
222982 Bulk loading fails when you run a mapping that loads long varchar for bit data to an IBM DB2
database and the database server version is 9.1, the database client version is 9.5, and the Data
Integration Service runs on 64-bit SUSE Linux.

338848 When you configure a template with the Custom Metadata Configurator, and then generate the
PowerCenter workflow, workflow generation fails. Metadata Manager returns an error that says it
cannot find infacmd.bat.
Workaround: Create the following directory and extract infacmd from the Informatica utilities into
the directory:
<PC client installation directory>\clients\DeveloperClient\infacmd
325617 You might not be able to load an Informatica Platform resource that contains multiple Expression
transformations with the same expression text.
Workaround: Set the following property in imm.properties and then restart the Metadata Manager
Service:
xconnect.io.ime.validation.skip=true
325075 When you reload an OBIEE resource when the source is unchanged, the Load Details Objects
view displays the values for the preload object count, objects added, objects deleted, objects
updated, and total objects as the same number for some object types.
324164 Metadata Manager does not display the impact summary for instances of mapplet shortcuts.
323619 When you run Metadata Manager on Firefox, and you create a custom resource, Metadata
Manager sometimes does not allow you to select the last mapping rule in the Mapping Rules list.
322982 Business terms related to Power Center reusable objects appear multiple times in the data
lineage diagram.
Workaround: Refresh the data lineage diagram.
86 IN_RLN_95100_HF4_0001
CR Description
322816 When you export a custom resource that contains enumerated links with expressions, purge the
resource, and then reimport the resource, the imported resource does not contain the expressions
in the lineage diagram.
322383 When you view properties for objects in Informatica Platform resources, Metadata Manager does
not display the date the object was created in the source system or the date the object was last
updated in the source system.
322098 The metadata catalog and data lineage diagrams do not display group-level information for
transformations in Informatica Platform resources that have multiple groups.
321192 Data lineage diagrams for Informatica Platform resources do not display related instances lineage
for reusable transformations.
319226 Metadata Manager does not always display the "from object" and "to object" names in
relationships for ERwin resources, so the Browse navigator might display multiple relationships
with the same name. When you select a view relationship in the Related Catalog Objects area,
Metadata Manager might display the wrong relationship.
316072 When you import a very large custom resource that you previously exported, Metadata Manager
might hang if the load on the Metadata Manager warehouse is very high.
314084 When you load a Teradata resource, the Sessions tab of the load log might display a few write
errors in PowerCenter session S_M_FEATURE_MAP_FIRST_LOAD. The errors do not cause
metadata loss.
322588 Searching for a business glossary does not work if you modify the index location in bg.properties
and restart Metadata Manager.
Workaround: Log in as an administrator to the Metadata Manager Business Glossary and index
the business glossary again.
322781 The Business Glossary Desktop installer does not display the LDAP security domain and displays
an error for LDAP users who select the Native security domain.
Workaround: Ignore the error and continue with the installation. After you install the Business
Glossary Desktop, configure the LDAP security domain in the server settings.
304978 When you reload an SAP R/3 resource after you upgrade from 9.1.0 HotFIx 3 to 9.5.0, all SAP
application components and packages are deleted and reloaded. Any customization to the
resource is lost.
304602 Parameter files are not parsed correctly for a PowerCenter resource with nested worklets if you
specify the session parameter value in the workflow and in multiple nested worklets, and the
session scope in the parameter file.
303897 Metadata Manager Service takes a long time to shut down and causes memory leaks.
303420 When you simultaneously create the link between two resources that have a connection
assignment with each other, the status of both the resources appears as Linking Successful;Some
Linking Deferred.
Workaround: Create the links for the resources again.
301722 When you load a Microsoft Analysis and Reporting Services resource, unique constraint errors
occur.
IN_RLN_95100_HF4_0001 87
CR Description
301610 Loading fails if you reload a Microstrategy resource after you cancelled the previous load, and
incremental extract is enabled.
Workaround: Disable incremental extraction and reload the resource.
298429 When you load multiple resources simultaneously, object path building sometimes fails because
of unique constraints.
Workaround: Reduce the number of parallel loads or reload the individual resources for which
object path building failed.
296033 For a Business Objects resource, the Web Intelligence, Desktop Intelligence, and Crystal report
classes appear in the same level as the ObjectPackage class in the catalog tree. In addition, if the
objects have the same name, Metadata Manager appends a numerical suffix to the name.
295349 An error occurs when you import metadata from a custom model XML file in which the XML
elements are not in the proper import order.
Workaround: Generate the XML to ensure that the parent elements are imported before the child
elements.
288675 For an ERwin resource, Metadata Manager Agents extracts all view relationships with the
ViewRelationship class name instead of using the class name specified in the source system.
285476 For a Business Objects resource, Metadata Manager does not merge the Business Objects folder
and class objects in the catalog tree.
282509 For an Oracle Business Intelligence resource, expression values extracted by the Metadata
Manager Agent are not similar to the expression values in the source system.
273665 The backupconfiguration command does not back up the schedules associated with resources
and does not back up the refresh option specified for relational resources.
263633 Errors occur when you simultaneously perform multiple activities on SAP R/3 resources using
single or multiple user sessions.
259473 The impact summary of an IBM DB2 alias does not show the impacted objects of the base object.
259952 The lineage between a PowerCenter source and a Netezza table is missing when the connection
used by the source is a Netezza bulk reader connection.
258486 On Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, you cannot create SAP R/3 resources when you use
SAP JCo 3.0.6 libraries.
Workaround: Install SAP JCo 3.0.3 libraries before you create the SAP R/3 resources. Contact
Informatica Global Customer Support.
257943 An error occurs when you profile Netezza resources.
257706 You cannot view lineage in a detached window when you use Mozilla Firefox.
Workaround: View lineage in non-detached mode or view lineage in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
256814 You cannot load a JDBC resource if you do not specify the correct path to the data direct JAR file.
Workaround: Make sure that you specify the absolute path to the data driver file during JDBC
resource configuration.
88 IN_RLN_95100_HF4_0001
CR Description
256672 Testing a connection to a JDBC resource on DB2/iSeries fails when you place the driver JAR file
in a shared location.
Workaround: Make sure that the JDBC driver JAR files are available on the same host as the
Metadata Manager Agent.
255924 For a JDBC resource for DB2/iSeries, a view that is created on a table with a name longer than
ten characters is not linked to the table.
255780 When there are multiple instances of the same worklet in a single workflow, the workflow names
are listed multiple times when you assign the parameter file during PowerCenter resource
configuration.
255014 When you load a JDBC resource for DB2/iSeries, system-defined views are loaded along with
user-defined views.
254260 When a single object is used in multiple locations, the Referring Struct Location value in the link
report appears incorrect.
247629 The Custom Metadata Configurator displays errors for a workflow import if you generate the
custom workflow again for a custom resource.
Workaround: Remove the generated mappings and workflows from the Designer and Workflow
Manager and generate the workflows from the Custom Metadata Configurator.
240743 Cannot restore the PowerCenter repository when the Metadata Manager Service runs on a worker
node.
Workaround: Verify that the PowerCenter repository has no content and enable the Metadata
Manager Service.
237928 If you upgrade from version 8.6.1, data lineage displays links between source relational tables
and PowerCenter source definitions and Source Qualifier transformations. Data lineage should
display links between source relational tables and PowerCenter Source Qualifier transformations
only.
Workaround: Purge and then reload all PowerCenter resources. Recreate relationships from
custom objects and business terms to PowerCenter metadata objects.
236963 You delete a user in the Informatica domain who is a data steward or owner for a category or a
business term. However, Metadata Manager does not remove the deleted user from the data
steward or owner assignment.
Workaround: After deleting a user who is a data steward or owner for a category or business term,
reassign another user as the data steward or owner.
233569 A PowerCenter resource can contain multiple instances of a mapplet where each mapplet
instance is linked to a different source relational table. When you launch data lineage or view the
impact summary for one of the source relational tables, lineage and the impact summary display
all instances of the mapplet. Data lineage and the impact summary should display only the
mapplet instance linked to the source table.
232802 When the Metadata Manager repository is on a database that contains multibyte data, Metadata
Manager cannot send an email notification when you propose a business term for review.
