Installing the Agent Plug-in › How to Install CA WA Agent for Informatica › Properties Files

Properties Files

The agent plug-in uses properties files to connect to an Informatica target server and a database repository that is configured to work with Informatica PowerCenter.

The connection information for each Informatica target is stored in the following directory.

• On Linux:

  install_dir/config/informatica/infaTarget

• On Windows:

  install_dir\config\informatica\infaTarget

install_dir

Specifies the agent installation directory.

infaTarget

Specifies the name of the Informatica target. This directory contains the properties for connecting to the Informatica server and one or more database repositories.

Each infaTarget directory contains the following files:

• An Informatica properties file (informatica.properties) that specifies the connection properties for a specified Informatica target.
• A default database repository properties file (repositoryName.properties) that specifies the connection properties for the default database repository for a specified Informatica target.
• (Optional) Additional database repository properties files (repositoryName.properties) for connecting to additional database repositories.

During installation, the installer creates an Informatica properties file and a default database repository properties file based on the information you provide. After installation, you can create additional properties files, as necessary, so that jobs can connect to additional Informatica targets or database repositories.
