To install a product in a subdirectory of InformaticaIR, specify the --install-dir parameter when you launch
the installer. For example, ./install --install-dir InformaticaIR/iir forces the installer to use the
InformaticaIR/iir subdirectory instead of the default InformaticaIR directory.
(IIR-1478)
Installing to a Preexisting Directory
Before you install a product, verify that no empty directory exists with the same name as the installation
directory.

Description
IIR-584
In the Job Editor, the Execute SQL step lists ssa as one of the supported logon types. You cannot
use this logon type because the Execute SQL step does not use the database dictionaries.

Workaround: Use the Microsoft ODBC Drivers for SQL Server.
IIR-1883
You cannot create more than one system in the SDF Wizard.

Resolution Console.

Wizard, the deployment might fail.
Workaround: Try to deploy the system on the computer on which you created the system.

the maximum length of 255 bytes. Loading such SDF fails.

If you install a product in a subdirectory of the InformaticaIR directory, any subsequent tries to
install a product fails.

InformaticaIR/iir subdirectory instead of the default InformaticaIR directory.

If you rename a SDF and load it, the changes do not apply to the system because the file name and
the system name defined in the file do not match.

Workaround: Define another search for the IDX.
