Being for so long in the market means they continuously evolve based on market trends and addressing different client's problems and challenges. They come up with multiple releases for their various products every yearwhich means there is often need to upgrade Informatica for their clients/customers. Every client has different landscape/architecture/products which makes every upgrade different.

Upgrading Informatica in itself can be considered as a project delivery which needs to be planned properly. It goes through multiple phases like gathering requirements, defining upgrade approach, clearly articulating pre requisites and execution steps, testing etc.

We will achieve the below in this course:

• Download different Informatica versions installer files for free

• Download oracle server, sql developer and java

• Requirements gathering

• Different approaches to upgrade like in place or clone along with pros and cons of each

• Articulating pre requisites for client's team before you start the upgrade

• Listing detailed execution steps for upgrading every environment

• Assumptions and any upgrade supporting docs to be shared with client

• Defining Testing and code freeze approach

• Upgrading 9.6.1 to 10.2.0 ( both server and client) and testing

• Upgrading 10.2.0 to 10.4.1 (both server and client) and testing

If you are working with Informatica ( as a developer/architect/tester/administrator) and you want to add upgrade skills to your profile or you have some knowledge of upgrade but wants to learn how to do these upgrades for clients, this is the course for you.

We will use all free available resources in this course so you can also have hands on experience with myself during this course. By the end of this course you should be comfortable to take up any upgrade activity for clients.
