Informatica scripting

It is possible to automatise nearly every administration task on commandline scripts in infromatica.

In case of migrations you can for example to a full export /reimport of a repository with a simple commandline script.

To begin with a useful command is:

pmrep

First let us connect to the server

%rootpath_infa%\server\bin\pmrep connect -r RepositoryName -d YourDomainname -n username -x password

once you are logged in  lets do a backup of the repository to a file

%rootpath_infa%\server\bin\pmrep backup -o RepositoryToBackup

-> the backup file  will be put at this place on the disk

%rootpath_infa%\server\infa_shared\Backup\

The next command is used to do administrative tasks on the server (disable service, update service parameters)

infacmd

First let us disable the rpository service:

\server\bin\infacmd DisableService -dn domainname -un adminuser -pd adminuserpassword -sn repositoryname -mo Abort

once done let us put the repository in exclusive mode to be able to restore a bakup:

\server\bin\infacmd updateRepositoryService -dn domainname -un adminuser -pd adminuserpassword -sn repositoryname -so OperatingMode=Exclusive

now let us delete the content

\server\bin\pmrep connect -r repositoryname -d domainname -n adminuser -x adminuserpassword

\server\bin\pmrep delete -x adminuserpassword

and finally restore the bakup (after having copied the file to the path:%rootpath_infa%\server\infa_shared\Backup\ )

\server\bin\pmrep connect -r repositoryname -d domainname

\server\bin\pmrep restore -u adminuser -p adminuserpassword -i backup_repositoryname

To set back the server in operational mode

\server\bin\pmrep connect -r prod -d %domain_cible% -n adminuser -x adminuserpassword

\server\bin\infacmd updateRepositoryService-dn domainname -un adminuser -pd adminuserpassword  -sn repositoryname -so OperatingMode=Normal
