PWX Oracle/MS SQL Server Upgrade Path Design
Assess the upgrade path for an Informatica PowerExchange (PWX) for Oracle/MS SQL Server environment from the current installed version to the latest available version, considering the Informatica Platform Availability Matrix (PAM), database, operating system (OS) and source database compatibility, change data capture (CDC) component requirements, and integration with the connected PowerCenter (PC) domain.
Key activities include:
(i) conducting a discovery workshop to collect information about the current PWX environment, including installed components (PWX listener, PWX logger) and integration topology with PC
(ii) reviewing the current configuration against the latest PAM to identify supported upgrade paths, Oracle and MS SQL Server and source database compatibility requirements, and any end-of-support considerations
(iii) evaluating upgrade approach options (e.g. in-place upgrade versus fresh installation ,Source Listener or remote Listener configuration.
(iv) assessing CDC continuity considerations, cold/warm start requirements for the PWX logger, and any changes to capture registrations
(v) reviewing dependencies on the connected PC domain version and identifying any required co-ordination with a parallel PC upgrade
(vi) documenting attention points, known issues, database-specific prerequisites for the identified upgrade path.
(vii) producing a PWX upgrade assessment report covering as-is architecture, target architecture, recommended upgrade path, and attention points
The typical workshop schedule is as follows:
• Discovery Workshop: one (1) meeting (two (2) hours), including key application technical team, app testing team, and database administrator stakeholders
• PWX for Oracle/MS SQL server is installed and operational (single environment scope)
• Customer to provide a list of its technical subject matter experts (e.g. database administrator, application owner, Informatica administrator) and ensure their availability to participate in the workshop and assessment activities
• Current PWX version, source database types and versions, and installed PWX components accessible prior to engagement
• Existing environment documentation (architecture diagrams) shared with Informatica in advance if available
• PC domain version and integration topology identified prior to engagement
• As-is PWX environment documented, including installed components, listener and logger, source database types and versions, and topology
• Target architecture defined based on the latest supported PWX version per the current PAM, validated against source database compatibility
• Supported upgrade path from current PWX version to latest version identified and validated against the PAM
• Upgrade approach options evaluated (in-place vs. fresh installation) with recommended approach and rationale documented for one (1) PWX environment
• CDC continuity considerations documented, including logger warm/cold start requirements and capture registration changes
• PC domain version dependency and upgrade co-ordination requirements identified
• Attention points, risks and DB-specific prerequisites documented for the recommended upgrade path
• PowerExchange Upgrade Assessment Report (including as-is environment documentation, target architecture overview, recommended upgrade path, upgrade approach evaluation, CDC continuity considerations, recommended architecture change summary, attention points, and identified risks)
