Restoring Informatica Code from existing repository database.

Assumptions

1.       An existing informatica setup with server existing on Linux Box A (internal i.p: a.b.c.d) and repository metadata existing on Relational Database Service (RDS- A)

2.       Following componenets exist on this environment

a.       Domain-Domain_abc

b.      Node-node_abc

c.       Repository Service-RS-A.

d.      Integration Service-IS-A.

3.       Linux Box A gets corrupted. The OS team provides a fresh Linux Box B with the same internal IP (a.b.c.d)

4.       This document will explain how to recover the Informatica code that was made using repository service-RS-A

Steps to be followed

1.       On Linux Box –B – Re-install informatica Server

·         Keep the repository database same

·         Make new Domain- Domain_def

·         Make new node- node_def

2.       Access the administrator console and login using admin credentials.

3.       Configure the Repository RS_def

   We get the following error

 We now try creating the Repository Service with the same name i.e. RS_abc

 Since the content already exists in the database we select the Content exist option as shown below

Repository Service RS_abc is created and is in disabled mode. 

Enable the repository using the enable button. RS_abc is up and running now.

You may now configure the domain and the repository. When you log into the repository you can see the old code.
