Copying the Plug-in Library on the Server

The final step in setting up the Vertica plug-in for Informatica is to copy the Vertica server-side plug-in file to the proper directory on the PowerCenter server.

Copy the library file to your server's binary directory, which is the \bin\javalib subdirectory in the PowerCenter server install directory. The full path to this directory for Windows is usually:

C:\Informatica\9.5.1\server\bin\javalib
Note: In addition to the file vertica-informatica-plugin-server.jar, you must also have the appropriate JDBC driver installed in the same directory (/bin/javalib). The JDBC driver you install must match your version of Vertica.

The following sample screen shows a typical Windows path for these files.

For all supported server operating systems (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX), you download and install the same file, vertica-informatica-plugin-server.jar .

Copy the file to the server/bin/javalib subdirectory of the directory where PowerCenter is installed.
