If you need to include Lookup transformation in your mapping, see Installing Clients and Utilities.
  1. Download the Aster Client package for your operating system to the Linux or AIX machine that hosts the Informatica Server.
  2. Extract and unzip the package:
    $ gunzip AsterClients__your_OS.aster_version.tar.gz
    $ tar -xvf AsterClients__your_OS.aster_version.tar
    The individual client installers will be located in the extracted directory:

    ../stage/home/beehive/clients-your_OS/

  3. Configure these files: ncluster_loader and ncluster_export.
    1. Move the files to the desired directory.
    2. Set permissions to make them executable.
    3. Modify the PATH environment variable to point to their location.
  4. Locate the installer package for Informatica:

    AsterConnectorInformatica_version_INFAInformatica_version__your_OS.aster_version.zip

  5. Extract the files.
  6. Navigate to the directory containing installer.sh: ../stage/clients-infa_connector-your_OS/Informatica_version/
  7. Run the installer:
    $./installer.sh
  8. Type Y to proceed.
  9. Accept the default installation path or enter your own and press Enter.
    The installer looks for the directories ../server/bin and ../server/info_shared at the installation path. If it cannot find them, the installer will abort without updating the system.
