Hi @Kenneth Hutchins
the Informatica specific part must be downloaded from the Automic Download Center (https://downloads.automic.com/jart/prj3/dlc/main.jart?rel=en&reserve-mode=active&content-id=1426247848003&action=get&release_delivery_id=1650890144996)
- Downloads -> Component Downloads
- Component: RA Informatica
- Version: 5.3
- Sub-Component: all
https://downloads.automic.com/downloads/advanced_mode?selected_tab=id_search-result-files&lifecycle_entity_id=1409731986378&major_version_id=1610692148397%2C1627279890853&component_id=1409731986814&search=
After downloading you must unzip the file (e.g. RA.Informatica_RA.Informatica.Solution_5_3_1+build.1652359134648.zip) and use Automic's tool DBLoad (ucybdbld.bat or ucybdbldg.exe) to load the proper data into the database by selecting the file InformaticaAgent_solution.jar.
After that you have to login to client 0 and create in Process Assembly an object based on the template (AGENT -> INFORMATICAAGENT Agent)
In addition to that you need the proper binaries (such as pmrep.exe, PmCmd.exe) from Informatica. Copy the files (incl. folders) to a folder where the Agent has access to (e.g. C:\Automic\myAgent\InformaticaBin). This directory must be specified during Agent's configuration in AWI. Otherwise the Agent will not start.
In the Agent's configuration file you have to set the name and the connection to the AE properly:
[GLOBAL]
name=Agent-Informatica
.....
[TCP/IP]
cp=myAEServer.local:2217
....
You also have to set the client access rights for the Agent in client 0
And set the path to the Informatica binaries
Hope this helps to setup the Informatica Agent
Michael

I do not see the InformaticaAgent_Solution.jar? I am using Automic 12.3.3.

Please have a look at my cheat sheet (for Windows):
- Create a directory and unzip/copy the RA framework and the solutions files
xcopy \Automation.Platform\Agents\rapidautomation\Core\windows\x86\* C:\Automic\MyAgent\bin\ /s - When required add vendor specific files to the directory
- Load the solution file into the AE by using DBLoad utility or the REST-endpoint
e.g. java -jar "C:\Automic\Automation.Platform\Utility\bin\ucybdbld.jar" -B -EReplace -X"C:\Automic\MyAgent\bin\InformaticaAgent_solution.jar - Login to client 0 and create an object based the proper Agent's template
*) Switch to Process Assembly
*) open <No Folder> and create the Agent-object by clicking "Add Object"-button
*) select the proper template under the branch "Agent (AGENT)"
*) name the object properly (e.g. InformaticaAgent) - Update Agent's configuration file (ucxjcitx.ini)
*) Use the same name of the just created object to set the Agent's name in the Agent's ini-file (section Global, Variable name)
*) Set the connection string for the AE-connection (section TCP/IP, variable connection)
*) When required set the folder for the certificates for the AE-connection (section Authorization, Variable trustedCertFolder)
*) Adjust values for log-files (section Global, Variable logging)
*) Adjust values for trace-files (section Trace, Variable file) - create a directory for log- and trace-files
e.g. md C:\Automic\MyAgent\temp - create proper entry in Service Manager
java -jar C:\Automic\MyAgent\bin\ucxjcitx.jar

Hi
i'm having trouble running an RA agent for Informatica on a new install of 12.3, the error in the log file is detailed bellow;
"cannot continue because Agent 'Informatica' does not exist in client zero. Please create the Agent object before starting the Agent."
The installation guide on this doesn't appear to have the steps needed to do this (i may have missed something) but it only says to run the setup .exe then load the Informatica .jar File into the Database
does anyone have a step by step process of how to register RA agents, using windows only install with a MS SQL database
thanks
I am having a similar issue.
0230210/191803.930 - U00011610 Cannot continue because Agent 'I manually added the IA Agent' does not exist in client zero. Please create the Agent object before starting the Agent.
20230210/191803.930 - U02000041 Shutdown Agent ' '.
Does the RA Agent need to run on the AE?
Is the correct agent type to manually add the IA Agent? or am I missing an agent type?
