Introduction
Scope
The scope of this document is to implement the enterprise level data integration Informatica
PowerCenter961 baseline architecture with the installation/configuration and best practices
recommendations to Enterprise Grid, running in 2 Nodes using Linux environment.
Informatica Professional Services
The information contained in this document has been offered by Informatica Professional
Services, strictly based on the Informatica Velocity Methodology and the combined experience
of Professional Services Senior Consultants and Regional Managers.
Velocity is a methodology that provides an implementation framework for the development of
analytic solutions based on Informatica's platform product, Informatica PowerCenter. Velocity
covers each of the major phases of analytic solution development efforts, including: Manage,
Architect, Design, Build, Deploy, and Operate. Where applicable, Velocity includes best
practices and techniques culled from Professional Services Consultants collective experiences
assisting clients, day in and day out.
Velocity represents a goal of bringing Informatica's Professional Services field experience to
bear in ensuring successful implementations of Informatica products. Significantly, the creation
of Velocity was accomplished through the tremendous collective efforts of Professional Services
directors, managers, senior consultants, and consultants. The methodology has been designed,
from the beginning, to represent the best approaches our practice has developed over the
years.
Velocity offers sample deliverables which can, and to some extent, should be used to build
standardized documents to support all PowerCenter administration, development and
operations. By maintaining standards, you are ensuring efficiency in all of the fore-mentioned
aspects of PowerCenter. Some of the key documents are:






Mapping Specifications
Source-Target Matrix
Operations Manual
Unit Test Plan
Change Request Manual
Issues Tracking
These are just some of the documents that would be immediately benefiting. Even if they don’t
fit your needs, they should at least offer a base for forming your own.
The best practices section of Velocity offers insight into key subject areas around PowerCenter.
Some of the areas are: Integration Competency Centers and Architecture, Error Handling and
Operations. These are all a great source of collective and refined information that can help
promote thorough understanding of the subject areas.

Server Level Best Practice for Enterprise Grid implementation
The PowerCenter Grid Option enables enterprises to build dynamic and scalable data
integration infrastructures that have the flexibility to meet diverse business needs. The Grid
Option can exploit underutilized computing resources to handle peak load periods and its
dynamic partitioning and load balancing capabilities can improve the overall reliability of a data
integration platform. If a server fails in a grid-only configuration without the HA
option/capability, the tasks assigned to it are not automatically recovered, but any subsequent
tasks are assigned to other servers.
The foundation for a successful PowerCenter Grid Option implementation is the storage subsystem. In order to provide a high performance single file system view to PowerCenter, it is
necessary to set up either a Clustered File System (CFS) or a Network Attached Storage (NAS).
While NAS is directly accessible from multiple nodes and can use the existing network fabric,
CFS allows nodes to share the same directories by managing concurrent read/write access.
CFS should be configured for simultaneous read/writes and the CFS block size should be set to
optimize the PowerCenter disk I/O. A separate mount point for the infa_shared directory
should be created using the shared file system. The infa_shared directory contains the working
file sub-directories such as Cache, SrcFiles, TgtFiles. The PowerCenter binaries should be
installed on local storage. Some CFS alternatives include


Red Hat Global File System (GFS)
Sun Cluster (CFS, QFS)
VERITAS Storage Foundation Cluster File System
HP Service guard Cluster File System
IBM AIX Cluster File System (GPFS)
The diagram below shows the Grid implementation for a two node system
The domain can be configured to determine how the load balancer selects the nodes to
distribute workflow tasks. The load balancer uses the following dispatch modes

Round-robin. The Load Balancer dispatches tasks to available nodes in a round-robin
fashion. It checks the maximum processes threshold on each available node and excludes a
node if dispatching a task causes the threshold to be exceeded. This mode is the least
compute-intensive and is useful when the load on the grid is even and the tasks to dispatch
have similar computing requirements.

compute-intensive and is useful when the load on the grid is even and the tasks to dispatch
have similar computing requirements.

Metric-based. The Load Balancer evaluates nodes in a round-robin fashion. It checks all
resource provision thresholds on each available node and excludes a node if dispatching a
task causes the thresholds to be exceeded. The Load Balancer continues to evaluate nodes
until it finds a node that can accept the task. This mode prevents overloading nodes when
tasks have uneven computing requirements.

Adaptive. The Load Balancer ranks nodes according to current CPU availability. It checks all
resource provision thresholds on each available node and excludes a node if dispatching a
task causes the thresholds to be exceeded. This mode prevents overloading nodes and
ensures the best performance on a grid that is not heavily loaded.
In metric-based dispatch mode and adaptive dispatch mode, the Load Balancer collects and
stores statistics from the last three runs of the task and compares them with node load metrics
to determine whether a task can run on a node. This metadata is available in the
OPB_TASK_STATS repository table. The CPU and memory metrics available in this table can be
used for capacity planning and departmental charge backs. Since this table contains statistics
from the last three runs of the task, a process can be built to extract data from this table to load
a custom history table. The history table can be used to calculate averages and perform trend
analysis. If no statistics exist in the repository, the Load Balancer uses default values. In
adaptive dispatch mode, the Load Balancer can use the CPU profile for the node to identify the
node with the most computing resources
The PowerCenter Integration Service reads from and writes to the shared file system in a Grid
configuration. When persistent lookups are used, there may be simultaneous reads from
multiple nodes. The Integration Service performs random reads for lookup caches. If it is
determined that cache performance degradations are experienced as a result of using a certain
type of CFS or NAS product, the cache directory can be placed in local storage. In the case of
persistent cache files that need to be accessed from multiple nodes, the persistent cache file
can be built on one node first and then copied to other nodes. This will reduce the random read
performance impact of the CFS or NAS product.
PowerCenter resources can be configured to assign specific tasks to specific nodes. The
objective in this type of configuration is to create a dynamic Grid to meet changing business
needs. For example, a dummy custom resource can be defined and assigned to tasks. This
custom resource can be made permanently available to the production nodes. If during peak
month-end processing the need arises to use an additional node from the test environment,
simply make this custom resource available to the additional node to allow production tasks to
run on the new server
Proactive monitoring for Service Manager Failures is essential. Service Manager manages both
the integration service and the repository service. In a two-node grid configuration, two Service
Manager Processes are running. Informatica monitoring tools as mentioned in section 10.3 can
be used to monitor the service manager on each node. Alternatively custom scripts can be
written to check the health and availability of the PowerCenter Service Manager process. Below
is a sample script created in shell that can be used called from a monitoring tool:
# !/bin/ksh
# Initializing runtime variables
typeset integer no_srv=0
srv_env='uname -n'
# Checking to verify if the PowerCenter process (tomcat) is currently running
# in background
no_srv=`ps -ef | grep tomcat | grep -v grep | wc -l`
# If it is not running, then exit with message
if [ $no_srv -eq 0 ]
then
echo "PowerCenter service process on $srv_env is not running"
exit 1
fi
exit 0
When the domain contains multiple gateway nodes, once the master gateway node is elected,
it updates the value in the domain table PCSF_MASTER_ELECTION every 8 seconds.
If it fails to update the row continuously for 4 times, then the master gateway will give up the
master role and shuts down the node. The services will fail over to the backup node. This can
occur in one or more of the following situations:
•
•

The domain database is being backed up (as a result the database is too busy to respond to
client connections).
There is a network performance issue between the node that is acting as master gateway
and the domain database.
The domain database is responding too slowly to client connections
Set the MasterDBRefreshInterval custom parameter for the Domain to increase the refresh
interval and avoid temporary issues, however If there is an on going issue with connectivity this
parameter will not resolve this issue. The underlying issue must be resolved first
Also sometimes the nodes shut down when the master gateway node takes a long time to
initialize or fails to initialize before the other nodes authenticate with the master gateway
node. To resolve this set the INFA_JAVA_OPTS parameter as follows, Refer KB Article 114350 on
Informatica support knowledgebase for additional information
export INFA_JAVA_OPTS='-Dinfa.maxMasterGatewayLoginRetries=15'
Checklist to Implement Grid
OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

A minimum of 2 CPU, 4GB RAM & 5 GB hard-disk space is required for all the PowerCenter services
running on a single node.


The System user account on all the nodes in the grid should have the same uid and guid. This user
should have write permissions to the installation directory and read access to the database client,
path and libraries
The open files limit on the OS should be set to alteast 8192, if not unlimited. Typically in Linux this
value is defaulted to 102 and can be verified by doing a ulimit –a command.
In RHEL this can also be modified by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf file and adding the
following lines near the bottom:
* soft nofile 8192
* hard nofile 65535
Make sure the soft limit is set to exceed 4500, because the o/s will always default to the soft limit
when a user logs in and we need that soft limit to exceed 4500.
FILE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


A clustered Shared file system is mandatory that can be accessed by each node in the grid.
If possible create / store files like tnsnames.ora, odbc.ini powerexchange datamaps, or any third
party files in the shared file system. Create softlinks wherever not feasible
Application level Best Practices for Grid implementation



When you use a Sequence Generator transformation, increase the number of cached
values to reduce the communication required between the master and worker DTM
processes and the repository.
If a service process variable is overridden, ensure that all the nodes on the Integration
Service can access the path overridden
To ensure that the Log Viewer can accurately order log events when you run a workflow
or session on a grid, use time synchronization software to ensure that the nodes of a
grid use a synchronized date/time.
WORKFLOW ON GRID
Workflow on Grid can be configured for sessions running on an Informatica grid service.
Workflow on Grid splits the workflow's sessions across multiple nodes in the grid. It
does not split the session across the nodes. Each session is executed on one node only.
For Workflow’s with multiple sessions, the sessions are executed on all the nodes
simultaneously
SESSION ON GRID
With Session on Grid, PowerCenter automatically distributes the partitions of the
transformations across the grid. You do not need to specify the distribution of nodes for
each transformation. By using Dynamic Partitioning that bases the number of partitions
on the number of nodes in the grid, a session can scale up automatically when the
number of nodes in the grid is expanded
Session on Grid provides the ability to run a session on multi-node integration services.
This is most suitable for large-size sessions. For small and medium size sessions, it is
more practical to distribute whole sessions to different nodes using Workflow on Grid.
Session on Grid leverages existing partitions of a session b executing threads in multiple
DTMs. Log service can be used to get the cumulative log.
Dynamic partitioning is also called parameterized partitioning because a single
parameter can determine the number of partitions. With the Session on Grid option,
more partitions can be added when more resources are available. Also the number of
partitions in a session can be tied to partitions in the database to facilitate maintenance
of PowerCenter partitioning to leverage database partitioning.
When you run a session that uses dynamic partitioning, and you want to distribute
session threads across all nodes in the grid, configure dynamic partitioning for the
session to use the “Based on number of nodes in the grid” method
You cannot run a debug session on a grid.
Installation and Configuration
Prerequisites
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You can create an Informatica domain with one node and run all application services on the
same node. If you create an Informatica domain with multiple nodes, you can run the
application services on separate nodes. When you plan the application services for the domain,
consider system requirements based on the services that you run on a node.
Note: Based on workload and concurrency requirements, you might need to optimize
performance by adding cores and memory on a node.
The following table lists the minimum system requirements for a node based on some common
configuration scenarios. Use this information as a guideline for other configurations in your
domain.

MINIMUM TEMPORARY DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The installer writes temporary files to the hard disk. Verify that you have enough available disk
space on the machine to support the installation. When the installation completes, the installer
deletes the temporary files and releases the disk space.
The installer requires 1 GB of temporary disk space.
DETERMINE PORT AVAILABILITY
The installer sets up the ports for components in the Informatica domain, and it designates the
ports to use for application service processes that run on the node where you install
Informatica. You can specify the port numbers to use for the components and a range of port
numbers to use for the application services. Or you can use the default port numbers provided
by the installer. Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you install
the Informatica services.
Port Type
Description
Node port
Service Manager
port
Port number for the node created during installation. Default is 6005.
Port number used by the Service Manager on the node. The Service
Manager listens for incoming connection requests on this port. Client
applications use this port to communicate with the services in the
domain. This is the port that the Informatica command line programs
use to communicate to the domain. This is also the port for the SQL
data service JDBC/ODBC driver. Default is 6006.
Port number that controls server shutdown for the domain Service
Manager. The Service Manager listens for shutdown commands on
this port. Default is 6007.
Port number used by the Administrator tool. Default is 6008.
Service Manager
shutdown port
Informatica
Administrator port
Informatica
Administrator
shutdown port
Range of ports for
application services
Port number that controls server shutdown for the Administrator
tool. The Administrator tool listens for shutdown commands on this
port. Default is 6009.
Range of port numbers that can be assigned to the application service
processes that run on the node. When you create an application
service in the domain, the Service Manager assigns the first available
port in this range to the service process. At a minimum, the number
of ports in the range must be at least twice the number of application
service processes that will run on the node. Default is 6013 to 6113.
GUIDELINES FOR PORT CONFIGURATION
The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port
conflicts in the domain.
Use the following guidelines to determine the port numbers:
 The port number you specify for the domain and for each component in the domain
must be unique.
 The port number for the domain and domain components cannot be within the range of
the port numbers that you specify for the application service processes.


The highest number in the range of port numbers that you specify must be at least three
numbers higher than the lowest port number. For example, if the minimum port
number in the range is 6400, the maximum port number must be at least 6403.
The port numbers that you specify for the domain, domain and node components, and
application service processes cannot be lower than 1025 or higher than 65535.
CREATE A SYSTEM USER ACCOUNT


Create a user account specifically to run the Informatica Daemon.
Verify that the user account you use to install Informatica has write permission on the
installation directory.
SET UP A KEYSTONE FILE (OPTIONAL)
During installation, you can configure Informatica to use SSL certificates for secure
communication between the Administrator tool and the Service Manager. The installer can
generate a self-signed certificate, or you can provide the location of a certificate signed by a
certification authority.
You can use the keytool utility to generate a keystore file to store the SSL keys and certificates
for a secure connection. Keytool is a key and certificate management utility to generate and
administer SSL keys and certificates. The keys and certificates are stored in a keystore file. You
can use a self-signed certificate or one signed by a certification authority (CA). To use a
certificate signed by a CA, use keytool to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and apply
for a digital identity certificate from a CA.
You can find the keytool utility in one of the following directories:
 %JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin
 InformaticaInstallDir\java\bin
For more information about using keytool, see the documentation on the Sun web site:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html
Note: After installation, you can also configure a secure connection when you create a
Reporting Service, Metadata Manager Service, or a Web Services Hub in the domain. Use the
Administrator tool to specify the keystore files for the application services.
DATABASE REQUIREMENTS
Before you start the installation process, verify that the database server has adequate disk
space for the domain configuration repository and other repositories in the domain. You must
set up the Oracle database for a repository before you create the application service in the
domain. You specify the database connection information when you create the service.
Use the following guidelines when you set up the repository on Oracle:
 Set the open_cursors parameter to 1000 or higher.


Set the permissions on the view $parameter for the database user.
Set the privileges for the database user to run show parameter open_cursors in the
Oracle database.
When you run the pre-installation (i9Pi) system check tool, i9Pi runs the command
against the database to identify the OPEN_CURSORS parameter with the domain
database user credentials.
You can run the following query to determine the open cursors setting for the domain
database user account:


SELECT VALUE OPEN_CURSORS FROM V$PARAMETER WHERE
UPPER(NAME)=UPPER('OPEN_CURSORS')
Verify that the database user has the CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE VIEW
privileges.
Informatica does not support Oracle public synonyms for repository tables. Verify that
public synonyms have not been created for any tables in the database.
