Chapter 1. Migrating to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5

Migration enables you to move existing source installations to new IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5, installations. The current version and the translated versions of this information are on the Web at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iisinfsv/v8r5/topic/ com.ibm.swg.im.iis.productization.iisinfsv.migrate.doc/topics/migr_container.html. The version of your existing installation determines how you migrate to a new IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 installation.

Migration strategies
You will use different migration strategies and methods to migrate to Version 8.5 from existing installations. Plan your strategy and choose your migration method based on the version of your existing installation. Successful migration requires that you understand your IBM InfoSphere Information Server installation topology on the source computers and your InfoSphere Information Server installation topology on the target computers. You must use one of the following methods to migrate your source installation to a new Version 8.5 installation:
Table 1. Supported migrations to Version 8.5 Existing installation (source) Information Server, Version 8.0.1 and later Migration method If you want to do this type of migration, see www.ibm.com/support/ docview.wss?uid=swg21445403. Export projects and save the settings files from the existing installation. Then import the projects and move the settings files to the Version 8.5 installation. See Chapter 3, Migration from DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier versions, on page 9. Use the QualityStage migration utility. See Chapter 4, Migration from QualityStage 7.5 and earlier releases, on page 25. Use the WebSphere RTI Export Wizard. See Chapter 5, Migration from IBM WebSphere RTI 7.5, 7.5.1, and 7.5.2 installations, on page 35.

DataStage, releases from 7.5.3 and earlier

QualityStage, release 7.5 and earlier

IBM WebSphere RTI 7.5, 7.5.2, and 7.5.1

Note: You do not migrate computers that only have the client tier installed on them. Computers that only have client tier software installed do not contain installation information or data that requires migration. To upgrade these computers to Version 8.5, you run the InfoSphere Information Server suite installation program.

Chapter 3. Migration from DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier versions

Migration involves exporting DataStage projects and saving the settings files from the existing installation, and then importing the projects and moving the settings files to the Version 8.5 installation. This migrate method applies to the development environment where the design-time information resides and moves all of your migrated projects to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5. Complete the following activities to migrate your source DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier environment to your target Version 8.5 development environment: 1. Export projects. See Exporting projects. 2. Save the DataStage settings files. See Saving DataStage settings files on page 11. 3. Installing InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5, including IBM InfoSphere DataStage. See "Installing IBM InfoSphere Information Server software" in the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide. 4. Integrating the contents of your saved settings and configuration files. a. Restore the settings files. See Restoring contents of DataStage 7.5.3 or earlier settings files on page 15. b. Move job dependency objects such as flat files, libraries, schema files, and hashed files that your project uses. See Move job dependency objects on page 12. 5. Import projects. See Importing DataStage projects on page 15. 6. Recompile jobs in your projects. See Recompiling jobs on page 17. Note: Use the migration from DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier method to migrate to different computers for your Version 8.5 installation, or to the same computers by using an ITAG installation. This migration method information applies to migration to different target computers or the same computers for source and target installations. ITAG installations exist when you install more than one instance of DataStage or InfoSphere Information Server on the same set of Linux or UNIX computers.

Exporting projects
You export your DataStage projects from your source installation before migrating the projects to your Version 8.5 target installation.

Before you begin

Ensure that nobody is using DataStage and that all clients are disconnected.

About this task

You can export projects by using one of the following methods: v Export from the DataStage Manager client. v Export from the command line of a DataStage client computer.

Copyright IBM Corp. 2006, 2010

Exporting projects from the DataStage Manager client

You can use the DataStage Manager client to export projects from your development environment.

About this task

Note: The current version of your installation determines the name of the DataStage Manager client. Your installation might refer to the client as the DataStage client.

Procedure
1. Open the DataStage Manager client, and attach to project that you want to export. 2. Ensure View Host View is selected. 3. Select Export DataStage Components. 4. In the Export window, specify details about the project that you want to export: a. In the Export to file field, type or browse for the path name of the file in which to store the project. By default, export files have the suffix .dsx. b. In the Components tab, select the Whole Project option. 5. Click OK. The project is exported to the file that you specified. 6. In the left pane of the DataStage Manager window, select the next project and repeat the export process from step 3, specifying a different name for the export file.

Exporting projects from the command line

You can use the command line on the client computer to export your projects from your development environment. You can create a script that runs these commands and exports all of your projects in a single operation.

About this task

Export your projects from your source installation before you import the projects to your target installation.

Procedure
1. Open a command line editor and go to the DataStage client directory (the default path is C:\Ascential\Program Files\Ascential\DataStageversion). 2. Enter the command: dscmdexport /H=hostname /U=username /P=password project_name export_file_path [/V] The arguments are as follows: v hostname is the name of the DataStage server computer where the project is located. v username is your user name on the server computer. v password is the password for that user name. v project_name is the name of the project that you are exporting. v export_file_path is the path name of the destination file. By convention, export files have the suffix .dsx. v /V is optional. Including /V turns the verbose option on so that you can follow the progress of the export procedure.

Guide to Migrating to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5

Example
For example, the following command exports the project named monthlyaudit that is located on the DataStage server named R101 and writes the project to a file named monthlyaudit.dsx. The target file is located in a directory named migrated_projects on the client computer.
dscmdexport /H=R101 /U=BillG /P=paddock monthlyaudit C:\migrated_projects\monthlyaudit.dsx

What to do next
You can enter a command for each project that you want to export, or you can create a script that contains commands for all of the projects on your DataStage server computer.

Saving DataStage settings files

Back up your settings files on your existing DataStage server.

About this task

After you install IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5, you can compare each of your saved settings files with the equivalent new file. You can then integrate the two files. You must not replace the new files with the files that you saved from your existing installation, because you will overwrite new settings. The files that you copy depend on whether your DataStage server is on a Windows computer, or a UNIX or Linux computer.

Saving settings files (UNIX and Linux)

If you are migrating an existing DataStage server on a UNIX or Linux computer, you must save copies of certain settings files.

Before you begin

The environment variable $DSHOME identifies the engine directory of your DataStage installation.

About this task

By default the engine directory is /user_home/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine, where user_home is the home directory of the DataStage administrator who originally installed DataStage (by default, dsadm). Each project is in its own directory in the /user_home/Ascential/DataStage/Projects directory.

Procedure
1. Copy the $DSHOME/dsenv file to a location outside of the DataStage file structure. 2. To keep a record of the existing configuration and the configuration of your ODBC drivers, copy the following files to a location outside of the DataStage file structure: v $DSHOME/.odbc.ini v $DSHOME/uvodbc.config v The uvodbc.config file located in each project directory
Chapter 3. Migration from DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier versions

11

3. Copy the DSParams file from each project directory to a location outside of the DataStage file structure. 4. Also, copy the DSParams file from the Template project. $DSHOME/../Template/ DSParams

Saving the DSParams file (Windows)

If you are migrating an existing DataStage server on a Windows computer, save a copy of the DSParams file from each project directory.

Before you begin

Each project has its own directory located, by default, in the directory C:\Ascential\DataStage\Projects.

About this task

Save the DSParams file so that you can move it to your target installation.

Procedure
1. Copy the DSParams file from each project directory to a safe location. 2. Also, copy the DSParams file from the Template project. For example, save the C:\Ascential\DataStage\Template\DSParams file. 3. Copy the $DSHOME/uvodbc.config in the engine directory. 4. The uvodbc.config file located in each project directory.

Move job dependency objects

The jobs in your projects might depend on objects outside of DataStage. You must move these objects to the Version 8.5 target installation. You need to move job dependency objects in the following situations: v If the files are in the DataStage server or client directory structures, or v If you are installing InfoSphere DataStage on a different computer. Note: If you have flat files, hashed files, or other dependencies that are located in your DataStage directory structure, or if you are migrating to a different computer, then you must move these files yourself. These files are not saved as part of the export procedure. The DataStage export procedure exports DataStage objects, such as job designs, table definitions and custom routines. If the jobs in your projects have other dependencies, then you might need to move these dependencies. Dependencies include flat files, files containing schemas used by parallel jobs, and libraries that are called by parallel job custom routines. It does not include parallel job data sets or file sets. If you are using data sets or file sets to permanently store data, then you must design a job to write the data to a flat file or other data target. You can move flat files, libraries, and schema files by using normal operating system commands. You might need to modify job designs to identify the new locations of these files. If there are server jobs in your projects that use hashed files, then you must use a dedicated procedure to move the hashed files.

12

Guide to Migrating to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5

Migrating hashed files

If your DataStage project contains server jobs that use hashed files, then you need to move the hashed files to a new location as part of the migration procedure.

Before you begin

Before moving the files, stop the DataStage server to ensure that dynamic hashed files are copied correctly. If you previously added indices to the hashed files, remove the indices.

About this task

The hashed files from your source installation need to be saved and moved to the target installation.

Procedure
1. Locate the hashed files in your directory structure: v Each static hashed file is represented by two operating system files. For example, a static hashed file named price_lookup is contained in the two files named price_lookup and d_price_lookup. v Each dynamic hashed file is represented by a directory with the same name as the hashed file and a file named D_hashed_file_name. For example, a dynamic hashed file named code_lookup is represented by the directory named code_lookup and the file named D_code_lookup. 2. Copy the files or directories that represent each of your hashed files to a safe location outside of the DataStage directory structure.

What to do next
You can restore these files after you install and configure InfoSphere DataStage.

Remove previous versions of DataStage

Removing DataStage completely removes your current version of DataStage from server and client computers. Ensure that your DataStage server computer is backed up before you remove DataStage, and that no one is using DataStage. There are separate procedures for removing DataStage clients and removing DataStage servers.

Removing a DataStage server (Windows)

You use Windows Add or Remove Programs to remove an existing DataStage server from a Windows computer.

Before you begin

Ensure that DataStage is not running and ensure that no clients are connected to the server.

Importing DataStage projects

Import the projects to your Version 8.5 installation.

About this task

Import projects from earlier versions of DataStage to your Version 8.5 development environment.

Procedure
1. Move the .dsx file or files that you created to the computer where the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage, Version 8.5 clients are installed. 2. Open the Administrator client and create a project or projects to contain the objects from your exported projects: a. On the Projects page, click Add. b. In the Add Project window, type the name of the project that you want to create and specify a path name for it. You can use the names of the original projects if required. c. Click OK to create the project. d. Repeat these steps for each project that you want to create. You might want to create a project for each of the projects that you exported and give it the same name as the original project. Open the Designer client and attach to the target project. Select Import DataStage Components. Specify the name of the .dsx file that you want to import, and click OK. After you unit test the migrated components in your Version 8.5 development environment, you must export the DataStage components from your Version 8.5 environment and then import them to your Version 8.5 production environment.

Restoring contents of DataStage 7.5.3 or earlier settings files

If you previously customized any of your DataStage 7.5 or earlier settings files, you might need to restore these customizations.

About this task

Do not copy your saved versions over the new ones to restore the settings files. You must merge the contents of your saved files with the new files. You must only add or edit settings in the new files. Do not delete settings. Use this procedure with any of the settings files that you saved earlier.

Procedure
1. Open the saved version of the settings file in a text editor. 2. Open the new version of the same file in a text editor. 3. Compare the contents of the saved file with the new file. 4. Add any required entries to the new file. 5. Save the new file and close the text editor.

Restoring DataStage job dependencies

You must restore any DataStage job dependencies that you saved.
Chapter 3. Migration from DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier versions

15

About this task

After you migrate to Version 8.5, restore job dependency files to your new installation.

Procedure
1. For each file, find the location for the file in the new IBM InfoSphere Information Server directory structure. For example, if the file that you want to restore was in the project directory in your previous DataStage installation, find the project directory to which you imported the project contents. 2. Use operating system commands to copy the saved file to the required location. 3. Ensure that the jobs that reference these files can locate them. If the file is referred to directly, you must edit the path name in the job design. If the file is referred to by a job parameter, you might need to edit the default value of the parameter to reference the new location for the file.

Restoring hashed files

You need to restore the hashed files that you saved.

About this task

To restore hashed files, use IBM InfoSphere DataStage to create empty hashed files for each of the files that you want to restore. You then replace the empty files with the saved files. To restore hashed files, follow one of the two procedures.

Procedure
1. For jobs in your migrated project that create the hashed files, open the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Director client, and attach to the migrated project that uses the hashed files. 2. Run or validate the job that creates the hashed files. 3. Close all InfoSphere DataStage clients and stop the DataStage services. 4. Locate the newly created files in your directory structure and copy the saved hashed files over the top of them. 5. Restart the DataStage services.

What to do next
Your hashed files are now available for use.

Designing a job to create new hashed files

About this task
To design a job to create the new hashed files.

Procedure
1. Open the Designer client, and attach to the migrated project that uses the hashed files. 2. Create a new server job. 3. For each hashed file that you need to restore, add a Sequential File stage linked to a Hashed File stage.

16

Guide to Migrating to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5

4. In the Sequential File stage, point to an empty text file and define one column in the Outputs page Columns tab. 5. In the Hashed File stage, specify the name of the hashed file that you are restoring, then select the Create File option and specify the file type of the hashed file that you are restoring. 6. When you have added stages for all the hashed files that you want to restore, compile and then validate or run the job to create the empty hashed files. 7. Close all InfoSphere DataStage clients and stop the DataStage services 8. Locate the newly-created files in your directory structure and copy your saved hash files over the top of them. 9. Restart the DataStage services.

What to do next
Your hashed files are now available for use.

Recompiling jobs
You must recompile the jobs and routines in the migrated projects to create new executable jobs.

About this task

You can start the wizard from the Tools menu of the Designer client. Select Tools Multiple Job Compile . You can also select multiple items in the repository tree or Advanced Find window and use the shortcut menu to start the compiler wizard.

Procedure
1. If you started the wizard from the Tools menu, specify the criteria for selecting jobs to compile. Choose one or more of: v v v v v v Server Parallel Mainframe Sequence Custom server routines Custom parallel stage types

You can also specify that only currently uncompiled jobs will be compiled, and that you want to manually select the items to compile. 2. Click Next>. If you chose the Show manual selection page option, the Job Selection Override screen appears. Choose jobs in the left pane and add them to the right pane by using the Add buttons or remove them from the right pane by using the Remove buttons. Clicking Add while you have a folder selected, selects all the items in that folder and moves them to the right pane. All the jobs in the right pane will be compiled. 3. Click Next>. If you are compiling parallel or mainframe jobs, the Compiler Options screen appears, allowing you to specify the following: v Force compile (for parallel jobs). v An upload profile for mainframe jobs you are generating code for. 4. Click Next>. The Compile Process screen appears, displaying the names of the selected items and their current compile status.
Chapter 3. Migration from DataStage 7.5.3 and earlier versions

17

5. Click Start Compile to start the compilation. As the compilation proceeds the status changes from Queued to Compiling to Compiled OK or Failed and details about each job are displayed in the compilation output window as it compiles. Click the Cancel button to stop the compilation, although you can only cancel between compilations so the Designer client might take some time to respond. 6. Click Finish. If the Show compile report checkbox was selected the job compilation report screen appears, displaying the report generated by the compilation.

Updating jobs that use the QualityStage 7.5 plug-in

If you have existing DataStage jobs that use the QualityStage plug-in stage to connect to QualityStage 7.5, and you want to continue running those jobs, then you must rewrite those jobs to use the parallel canvas and the Version 8.5 stages.

About this task

You must rewrite the jobs that use the QualityStage 7.5 plug-ins. After you import the jobs to Version 8.5, rewrite the jobs to use the parallel canvas and the Version 8.5 stages.

Switching between different versions of clients

You can install different versions of DataStage clients on a single Windows computer and switch between them by using the Multi-client Manager.

Before you begin

The Multi-client Manager is installed on the Version 8.5 client tier. Note: The Multi-client Manager is not supported on DataStage releases earlier than 7.0. For DataStage releases earlier than 7.0, install each client version on a separate computer.

About this task

When your organization is using different versions of DataStage, it is useful to have different client versions on your Windows computer. You can then switch between the clients according to which DataStage server you want to connect to. For example, if you are evaluating IBM InfoSphere DataStage, Version 8.5 on one of your installations, while still running WebSphere DataStage, Version 7.5.3 on another installation, you can have the clients for both releases on a client tier computer, and switch between the clients as necessary. You can install multiple DataStage clients by running the client installer (versions earlier than WebSphere DataStage 8.0), or running the suite installer and selecting only the client tier (Version 8.0.1 and later). You must install the Version 8.5 client after you install any earlier client versions, so that the Version 8.5 Multi-Client Manager is the latest version installed.

Procedure
1. Start the Multi-client Manager by double-clicking the desktop shortcut.

18

Guide to Migrating to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5

2. In the Current installation field, check whether the currently selected version is the version that you want. v If the correct version is selected, you need take no further action. v If the correct version is not selected, select the correct client in the Known installations list and click Select. 3. Click Close to close the Multi-client Manager.

Multiple server method (Linux and UNIX only)

If your DataStage server is on a Linux or UNIX computer, you can keep that instance and install IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5. You can also install multiple IBM InfoSphere DataStage engine tiers. Each engine tier must be registered to a different instance of the IBM InfoSphere Information Server services tier. Note: There is a change of terminology between DataStage 7 and InfoSphere DataStage, Version 8.0.1 and later. In earlier versions the engine component was identified as the DataStage server, for release 8.0.1 and later, the engine component is identified as the engine tier. If you maintain different releases of DataStage server, or multiple instances of the same server, you can keep all of those instances. You can also upgrade each of these servers to InfoSphere DataStage, Version 8.5 and keep their existing identity information. Each instance of a DataStage server is identified by a tag ID (an ITAG) and allocated a different port. You also specify a different home directory for each server. Each DataStage server has a different set of projects that you access through that server. You connect to different servers by specifying the port number in addition to the UNIX server ID. The existing DataStage server instance retains the default port number, 31538, and uses the default ITAG, ADE. If you already have multiple server instances, then you already have servers that use different ports and ITAGs. Each version of DataStage requires clients of the same version. You must use the Multi-Client Manager program to switch between different client versions on your Windows client computers. You can use the multi-server facility to install multiple instances of the InfoSphere DataStage, Version 8.5 engine tier on the same computer. When multiple instances of the engine tier are installed on the same computer, each engine tier requires a unique profile for IBM WebSphere Application Server. The following table shows a scenario of a multi-server installation, and illustrates the use of port numbers and ITAGs.
Table 2. Scenario 1: InfoSphere DataStage, Version 8.5 server installed on the same computer as an existing DataStage 7.5.1 server Engine tier instance WebSphere DataStage, release 7.5.1 server Server details v Itag ADE v Port 31538 v /disk1/Ascential/DataStage

Chapter 4. Migration from QualityStage 7.5 and earlier releases

Required premigration tasks if your Version 7.5 or earlier source installation includes QualityStage. If QualityStage 7 is installed, you need to migrate your jobs to Version 8.5. (The term 'QualityStage 7' refers to all releases between 7.0 and 7.5.) If you were using the QualityStage plug-in stage in DataStage jobs, the jobs will need to be edited after they are migrated to the Version 8.5 installation. To run these jobs after migration, you must configure the jobs to use the available stages in Version 8.5. The QualityStage plug-in is not available or supported in Version 8.5. QualityStage 7 provides a method to migrate QualityStage 7 jobs, match specifications, and standardization rule sets to the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer client in the Version 8.5 environment. In legacy mode your migrated job will use the QualityStage Legacy stage. In expanded form, your migrated job will make full use of all the specialized data quality stage types as well as the QualityStage Legacy stage. If you are migrating to a platform that was supported by QualityStage 7, then you can migrate by using legacy mode or expanded form. If the platform was not supported for QualityStage 7, then only expanded mode migration is available, and any QualityStage Legacy stage types in the migrated job must be replaced. The migration utility uses information in the QualityStage 7 server project directory to build the .dsx file format that InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage requires to import jobs. The migration utility migrates the following QualityStage 7 objects: v Standardization rule set v Jobs in full legacy operational mode v Jobs in expanded form, in which some legacy operations are replaced by InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage, Version 8.5 stages v Match specification You export projects to create a .dsx file that contains migrated jobs, rule sets, and match specifications in the Temp directory in the QualityStage 7 project directory.

Job migration in legacy operational mode

When you migrate QualityStage 7 jobs in full legacy operational mode, the original job is replaced with a single instance of a QualityStage Legacy stage and Sequential File stages linked as source and target stages. If you migrate a QualityStage 7 job in legacy operational mode, you can make only minor changes to the resulting QualityStage Legacy stage. Use this option only for stable jobs that will not be modified or jobs that are due to be replaced.

Copyright IBM Corp. 2006, 2010

25

Note that, in a Japanese environment, the migrated job uses Data Set stages instead of Sequential File stages. In this case, you must create an additional job that reads the source data from the sequential file and writes it to a data set. The data set can then be read by the migrated job. If your original job wrote results to a sequential file, then you must create another job to write the results from the data set produced by the migrated job to a sequential file. Do not use the legacy operational mode option if you are migrating a job that contains the following QualityStage 7 stages because their functionality is not supported by the QualityStage Legacy stage: v Postal stages such as CASS and SERP v v v v Program stage Multinational Standardize stage WAVES stage Format Convert stage

QualityStage job migration in expanded form

When you migrate a QualityStage 7 job in expanded form, the QualityStage migration utility replaces the original job with one or more parallel job stages for each stage in the QualityStage 7 job, and with Sequential File stages that are linked together to represent the QualityStage 7 job flow. A job migrated in expanded form might have a mixture of data quality, processing, and Legacy stages when you open the job in the Designer client. For complex jobs, you can move the stages around on the canvas to make the job more intelligible. You can also replace a QualityStage Legacy stage with a data quality stage that has equivalent functions.

Rule set migration

The migration of a QualityStage 7 standardization rule set option migrates the rule sets explicitly by name. When a QualityStage 7 job is migrated, the migration utility detects the dependent rule sets and displays them. You can then choose to include the rule sets in the .dsx file with the job. The migration utility renames the rule sets within the .dsx file to prevent a naming duplication with a built-in IBM InfoSphere QualityStage, Version 8.5 rule set. The utility uses the following naming convention:
QS-7-Ruleset-Name_QS-7-Project-Name

Match specification migration

When you migrate a QualityStage job that contains match and unduplicate stages, the Match specifications are migrated with the job. The QualityStage migration utility includes the match processing information in the .dsx file with the job, if you selected the option "plus dependencies" to migrate the job. Once the job is imported, you can locate the match specification in the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Repository Match Specifications folder.

26

Guide to Migrating to IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5

As with rule sets, match specifications are renamed when the information is imported. The match specification name has the following form:
QS-7-RefMatch-or-UndupMatch-Stage-Name_QS-7-Project-Name

Installing the WebSphere QualityStage migration utility

Use the WebSphere QualityStage migration utility to migrate QualityStage Version 7 to IBM InfoSphere QualityStage, Version 8.5. (The term 'QualityStage 7' refers to all releases between 7.0 and 7.5.)

Move the RTIX file to the Version 8.5 computer. 4. Use the IBM InfoSphere Information Server console Import function to import the RTIX file. This imported file is the equivalent of the output of the console design function. 5. You must associate the imported service descriptions with an application object before you can deploy the services. The import function is done at the application level to create this association.

Results
The imported service description is the equivalent of a service that is designed in InfoSphere Information Server. You can deploy the service description like any natively designed information service.

Chapter 6. Upgrading a client tier-only installation to Version 8.5

Use the IBM InfoSphere Information Server installation program to upgrade existing client tier computers to Version 8.5.

Before you begin

Before you run the installation program: v Complete the preparation steps that are described in "Preparing to run the installation program" in the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide. v If you are installing Metabrokers and bridges, remove any existing installations of MetaBrokers and bridges from the target computer before you run the InfoSphere Information Server installation program. v See "Configuring your browser" in the Installation Guide to ensure that your Web browser is configured properly.

About this task

The installation program directly upgrades InfoSphere Information Server client software to Version 8.5. To upgrade client software directly by using the installation program, InfoSphere Information Server server-side software must not be installed on the computer. The installation program cannot directly upgrade the server-side software, or client software on a computer that also contains server-side software. To upgrade a computer that includes server-side software, you must create a new installation of InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5 that includes the client tier. To retain existing client versions, you must select a different installation directory location for Version 8.5. You can upgrade your client software at any time before, during, or after installing the server-side software on other computers. To upgrade a client tier-only computer, use one of the following two scenarios: v Manually uninstall existing client versions and install new client versions. Note: If you choose to manually remove existing client software, be sure to follow the documented procedure for your installation version to completely remove the software, restart the computer, and then use the Version 8.5 installation software to install the Version 8.5 client software. v Automatically upgrade the existing client versions on a client tier-only computer by using the following procedure. Procedure

Procedure
1. Start the installation program in graphical mode as described in "Starting the installation program in graphical mode" in the Installation Guide. 2. Follow the prompts in the wizard as they appear.

When the installation program detects that the target directory contains a client installation, confirm that you want to upgrade the installation. The current client installation is uninstalled. Note: To retain your existing client versions, you must select a different installation directory location for Version 8.5 to ensure that your existing versions remain intact. When the installation program has collected your settings, it saves a response file for you. This file is a text file that contains the settings that you made in the previous pages. When you run the installation program again, you can load the settings into the program instead of manually selecting them again. Note: Passwords are not saved in the response file. You must edit the response file by using a text editor to add passwords. Based on your settings, the installation program runs a prerequisites check. During this check, it analyzes the resources and file system of the computer to determine whether the new client installation is likely to succeed. The wizard page displays each check. If the prerequisites check fails, it is marked FAILED for the corresponding items. 3. If you receive a FAILED message, double-click the message to learn more about resolving it. Try to resolve the issue without exiting the installation program. If you believe that you solved the problem, click Check Again in the Prerequisites Check page. If it is necessary to exit the installation program, click Cancel and close the browser window. Resolve the issue and then restart the installation program. 4. The installation program summarizes your settings and then begins the installation. 5. Monitor the installation as described in "Installation progress monitoring" in the Installation Guide. Leave the terminal window open until the installation is complete. Note: During the installation process, the installation process might occasionally request a response from you. Check periodically to make sure that the system is not waiting for you to respond. The installation process might fail if the installation process halts for a long time. 6. After the installation is completed, install the correct Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) Service Pack. 7. Repeat the upgrade process for each client computer.

What to do next
If the installation fails: 1. View the installation logs for more information. See "Log files" in the Installation Guide. 2. Resolve any issues that are listed in the installation log files. 3. Remove the installation directory structure and the installation log file.
Windows Restart the computer. 4. 5. Run the installation program again.

Client tier computers that include DataStage client software include the Version 8.5 Multi-client Manager. After Version 8.5 is installed, use Version 8.5 is the active

Accessing product documentation

Documentation is provided in a variety of locations and formats, including in help that is opened directly from the product client interfaces, in a suite-wide information center, and in PDF file books. The information center is installed as a common service with IBM InfoSphere Information Server. The information center contains help for most of the product interfaces, as well as complete documentation for all the product modules in the suite. You can open the information center from the installed product or from a Web browser.

Accessing the information center

You can use the following methods to open the installed information center. v Click the Help link in the upper right of the client interface. Note: From IBM InfoSphere FastTrack and IBM InfoSphere Information Server Manager, the main Help item opens a local help system. Choose Help > Open Info Center to open the full suite information center. v Press the F1 key. The F1 key typically opens the topic that describes the current context of the client interface. Note: The F1 key does not work in Web clients. v Use a Web browser to access the installed information center even when you are not logged in to the product. Enter the following address in a Web browser: http://host_name:port_number/infocenter/topic/ com.ibm.swg.im.iis.productization.iisinfsv.home.doc/ic-homepage.html. The host_name is the name of the services tier computer where the information center is installed, and port_number is the port number for InfoSphere Information Server. The default port number is 9080. For example, on a Microsoft Windows Server computer named iisdocs2, the Web address is in the following format: http://iisdocs2:9080/infocenter/topic/ com.ibm.swg.im.iis.productization.iisinfsv.nav.doc/dochome/ iisinfsrv_home.html. A subset of the information center is also available on the IBM Web site and periodically refreshed at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iisinfsv/v8r5/ index.jsp.

Obtaining PDF and hardcopy documentation

v PDF file books are available through the InfoSphere Information Server software installer and the distribution media. A subset of the PDF file books is also available online and periodically refreshed at www.ibm.com/support/ docview.wss?rs=14&uid=swg27016910. v You can also order IBM publications in hardcopy format online or through your local IBM representative. To order publications online, go to the IBM Publications Center at http://www.ibm.com/e-business/linkweb/publications/ servlet/pbi.wss.

Reading command-line syntax

This documentation uses special characters to define the command-line syntax. The following special characters define the command-line syntax: [] ... | Identifies an optional argument. Arguments that are not enclosed in brackets are required. Indicates that you can specify multiple values for the previous argument. Indicates mutually exclusive information. You can use the argument to the left of the separator or the argument to the right of the separator. You cannot use both arguments in a single use of the command. Delimits a set of mutually exclusive arguments when one of the arguments is required. If the arguments are optional, they are enclosed in brackets ([ ]).

{}

Note: v The maximum number of characters in an argument is 256. v Enclose argument values that have embedded spaces with either single or double quotation marks. For example: wsetsrc[-S server] [-l label] [-n name] source The source argument is the only required argument for the wsetsrc command. The brackets around the other arguments indicate that these arguments are optional. wlsac [-l | -f format] [key... ] profile In this example, the -l and -f format arguments are mutually exclusive and optional. The profile argument is required. The key argument is optional. The ellipsis (...) that follows the key argument indicates that you can specify multiple key names. wrb -import {rule_pack | rule_set}... In this example, the rule_pack and rule_set arguments are mutually exclusive, but one of the arguments must be specified. Also, the ellipsis marks (...) indicate that you can specify multiple rule packs or rule sets.
