Basic setup to kick start command line utitlity PMCMD

Mostly we work on pre defined environment which Informatica Administrators sets up for us . and we hardly bother to know basics behind it .

Lets say we have installed Informatica Newly and we want to use PMCMD command to start workflow does it work , NO we have to do some basic configurations as follows .

Steps .

1. check whether domains.infa  file is present on your system (Server)

2. Mostly you will find in Informatica installation folder .

3. Create Environment variable as below

  INFA_DOMAINS_FILE <Path of file >\domains.infa

4.Know your Gateway domain localhost and port and execute following command

Infacmd updateGatewayInfo -dn <gateway domain> -dg <Host>:<Port>

Example :
Infacmd updateGatewayInfo -dn domain_POWEROBJECT -dg POWEROBJECT:6005

You are ready for using PMCMD !!!!!!!

make sure you are having path set for folder holding PMCMD utility else you  have to go to the folder where pmcmd is present and fire command from there .

which is not good practice in real scenarions .
