Hi Everyone,

                    This problem is with the Windows XP Home.Thats the reason why everytime u start the services it gets disconnected. You need to have a Windows XP Professional. The XP Home version doesnt support one functionality compared to XP Professional. That function is IIS(Internet ... Services).I am not sure about the correct abbreviation but you will find it in XP Professional.

Thanks,

Alekya.

You need to change the Operating System that is the solution for your problem.

  Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Advanced Server or WINDOWS NT will be ideal.

Hi Friends,

If still your problem is not sloved then here is the solution.

I also faced same problem during my installation of Informatica 7.1.1 recently.

If the Informatica repository server is not starting the go to the Repository server setup change the the port no that min value writen on the below field ,at least more that the minimum value.and put your passward that is must.

If your Informatica Server is not starting then workflow manager and configure the server there.

Thanks & Regads,

Guys,

I too faced the same problem. But I resolved it. I guess there is some default firewall runnning which is stopping the services to start. Disable your firewall and then try to start the services. It should work. Its the way worked for me.

Check the exact error message in the even viewer log for the pmserver entry(navigate using settings--> control pannel-->Admin tools-->eventviewer.

Probably this is relating to the port number. Change the port number to the one between max and min port number.

Check the Administrator password.

If you can't do let me know again.

Try to re-install software once again and check the configuration weather you have given proper information or not.

uday

• Apr 16th, 2007

 

I think, the problem is like you have installed and configured both server and repository manager,
 then you are trying to start the informatica and repository manger sevices, at that time sevices get started and stopped immediately by giving message like no work is assinged to server 

If that is the problem, you may have configured the informatica server with diffenrent repository name, user and password and in repository admin console you are trying to configure the repository for other username,

If that is not the problem, there may be problem with host name (may not matching) (Localhost/comp.name/ip address)

First its better to remove the informatica software which u earlier installed it and then install it again and give all the settings properly. This are the some steps which you need to keep track

Steps for Installing Informatica 6.2 

 Note: Default means Don't Change

1. Login as Administrator with the Administrators rights User Id & Password.
2. Install all Informatica clients, repository servers and work flow mangers.
3. Install Oracle 8i/9i. While installing give Global database a name and SID as ORCL.
4. Create a user at the Oracle.
5. Select * from all_users
Create user Infodev identified by Infodev default table space users temporary table space temp. Grant connect, resource, select any table, insert any table, update any table, delete any table to Infodev.

Configuring Repository Server:
6. Note down your Computer name or IP address
7. Open Repository management console. Then, right click on Informatica repository server, then add “New server registration” as your computer name.
8. Right click repository => add repository (Infodev)
9. Repository Configuration:
 Database type: Oracle
Code page: default (Don't change)
Repository Name: Infodev
Connect String: ORCL
DB User:Infodev (Created User at the Oracle Backend)
DB password: Infodev

The rest of the network & configuration Tabs maintain as default.

10. Repository Server:
Server Port number: 5001
Administrator Password: Give Administrator Password
Minimum Port: 5002
11. Once you have given all this information, it will start creating Repository (OPB) tables at the Oracle user you have created.
12. Once the repository is created, it will create a local repository and an option will be provided by Informatica to convert the local repository to a Global repository.
13. Convert the local repository to Global repository.
14. Now go to services. There you will find Informatica Repository server service. Start that service by giving the Administrator User ID & password.

Informatica Server Configuration:
15. Go to Informatica Server set up. Install the Informatica Server and login as Administrator. Use Administrator's rights User Id & Password and Domain as your computer name.
16. In Server set up, enter all the License keys for platform key, Oracle key ODBC key in Key tab.
17. In the server tab, you will need to enter server name once the sever is created at workflow manger. However, leave that blank for the time being.
18. Enter the TCP/IP address or computer name in this place, the rest leave set as the default.
19. In repository Tab
Repository Name: Infodev
Repository User: Infodev
Repository password: Infodev
Repository host name: Computer name
Repository port number: 5001
20. Compatibility & Database TAB: default values
21. Configuration TAB: default values
22. Open Server Manager, click the Add folders to Repository Server Manager.

Steps for registering Server in Workflow manager:
23. In the workflow manger, connect to the repository.
24. Choose connection server.
25. Add register to new server.
26. Give the name as temp_server.
27. Now server dialog box appears.
28. Enter the following Info:
Host Name: Your Computer name/IP address (IP address is better)
Port Number: 4001(default)
Code page: default

Timeout: 60
27. Server Variables:
    $PMRootDir: C:Program Filesinformaticainformatica PowerCenter 6.2-Server - all others should be set to the default values
28. Now go back to the Informatica configuration. There in Server tab enter the name of server as temp_server. Click OK & apply.
29. Go to services, start Informatica Service. Login as Administrator with the UserID 
     & password.
30. In workflow manager, right click the server and select monitor.
31. Now the server will run.
32. Go to Workflow monitor, right click server and select online.
33. It should respond that the server is running, otherwise you might have missed some steps.

Dear Nagesh and Priya, I got the complete solution for your queries. I too had the same problem for the last one week, one of my friend provided me the step by step process on configuring the things correctly in informatica. Now the issue is fixed. All the credit goes to my friend.I got the word document (54 pages)with screen shots and step by step instruction, but I don't find any option to attach the file in this forum. Please let me know how to attach the file at the earliest. Probably this document will be a key solution for the all those who come with the same problem.The document contains the configuration procedure and a sample excercise.RegardsG.R

I am seeing most of the people are facing the same problem.

In Informatica server setup check these things :

1. Check your user id & password, connecting string & hostname etc...
somewhere you may missed in repository.

2. Check your default IP in your system, in server you have to give the same

ex :127.0.0.1 under TCP/IP host address.
(to check IP in your system start -> run -> cmd enter -> ipconfig you will get
your system IP address)

3 Add your licenses correctly.

In workflow manager

1. Server which you created name should match with server name given in
server setup.
2. Make sure you are getting your system IP in server, if not click resolve IP
address
3. Disconnect your internet connection if connected .
4. Assign your server to the desired folders and start now

Regards
Sreekanth

Informatica 7.1 only supports Windows 2000 not does not support Windows XP. so you first uninstall XP and with Windows 2000 You can start the services OLAP agent, TNS and Client and Informatica repository agent and finally Informatica.

This problem occurs when the server is not configured or it has not worked to process so just go to Informatica work-flow manger and is server tab, click on configure and follow the steps.

Hello,

These are my suggestions:

1. Make sure Firewall is OFF and internet is ON.
2. Get your computer's full name and ip address after restarting the computer
3. Go to Start-Programs-Informatica Power Center- Workflow manager - Server (from the menu) - Server configuration - Check whether you have your server name there or not. If yes, edit - go to row where it says "computer or host name" , you will have a web addresss, delete that and enter your ip address and then hit the button resolve address, it should be same as you entered. but it will change the ip address to your computer name.

if xyz is your computer name then
it should look like this (before)
Computer name : xyz.xyz.com ipaddress : 127.0.0.1

enter your ip address at the web address spot and hit resolve ipaddress button

it should change to (after)

Computer name : xyz ipaddress ###.###.#.#

Now close the workflow monitor, go to workflow manager, enter your admin password - right click the server - and click run monitor - it should say connected .. boom ...

Do not change any port settings or Operating systems etc.
it should work everywhere.

Thanks. hope this helps.

Check if you have installed some anti-virus/anti-spam softwares in your pc. Some of this softwares does not allow the repository server from starting. Uninstalled the softwares and try starting the repository server service.

Change operating system. Informatica does not support any home edition operating system.

You need database installed in your PC to connect it to repository. Without database you cannot start repository.

You need to create a folder for bad file and alocate saficiant shared memory
Main problem is OS, Windows 2000 is good for Informatica

I understand from your blogs that you people are experiencing an issue with Informatica Repository Service not running permanently when you start it. For this, I suggest you to first configure Informatica Repository Server correctly. This mistake can occur when you not properly given the 'server name' and 'TCP/Host name'.

If this still occurs, this issue can occur if the repository service is not registered in registry. So, I suggest you to try unregister and register repository server service file.

If still persists, uninstall ONLY Repository server.

Informatica repository name placed in 2 different places.
1) Server-->Informatica server setup.
2) Client-->Informatica Repository console(Here we generally create repository name and start the repository)

Both the places Repository name should be same other wise when you try to start Repository service it will be stoped automatically.

Hello All,

 I faced same problem while installing the inforamtica powercenter 7.1.1 for the first time but my friend showed me and then took screenshots.

 See now first thing you need to install inforamatica, config inforamtica server then repository server.
 then give perticular port number you can give hostname as your name if it is training and port number 9999 as it will be easy to identify then you need create repository but first dont forget to start the repository server .

Ok now you have to go to repository manager create the repository and start the repository for this your db means oracle should be started already.
  then in the workflow manager create the connection for the relation source in connections tab if it is relational otherwise other.

then create repository server and give it perticular hostname resolve the server , give the path to perticular session logs etc.

At the end you need to assign the server and select the required or all workflows for the perticular server.

start the informatica server then test it is working correct or not because till the server will not be configured correctly informatica server services will not start though repository server service started.

if any issue pal.amol@gmail.com

First check you install informatica properly or not, once again reinstall the Informatica software, then goto the services in that right click the Informatica Repository Server in that refresh option is there, click that one, if the started service is stopped means, you didn't install Informatica properly, and also check you install any Java or Dot Net or Apache server or any server means you disable the services, then it works try it.

In order to up your IRS, please follow up the guidelines:-

1) Create a database, if u have already DB exist, then u can go with the same.

2) Create two db users, give admin privilege to those users.

3) The go with the normal Informatica installation steps, and please do configure your IRS with the respective db users.

4) Start the informatica Integration service, and then try with IRS. It must work out if u followed up the steps mentioned.

Any issue/questions, kindly post me back.
