Principles

deploy lists

• All components expect a deploylist text file as input. You should keep deploylists in your source code Git. Suggested location: //config/ where is the base location within your Git, is your submodule (if any), and is the text file that contains the items to be deployed. For example: /demo/config/oracle_deploylist.txt /demo/config/infa_deploylist.txt

environment variables

• The python scripts use environment variables to determine locations, features and many other parameters. The environment variables that can or at times must be set can be found in:
  • generalSettings: log directory, artifact directory, configuration directory and more
  • infaSettings: deploy list location, Informatica source and target variables like INFA_HOME, location infacmd, connectivity to domain and Model Repository
  • dbSettings: deploy list location, location of sql files, sqlprefix
