Informatica powercenter 8.6.1 repository creation hang
424868Dec 1 2010 — edited Mar 17 2011Hi everybody;
I installed Informatica PowerCenter 8.6.1 with hot fix 11 on a Windows 2003 server, the installation went ok, the domain was created in Oracle database 10g R2 with a character set as follow: NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16. The database is hosted on a windows server 2003 machine.
The problem is with the repository service, it hangs during the creation. What I noticed is as follows:
The informatica server gets a connection to the database with the repository user info_rep which already has the DBA role.
The informatica server always hang after issuing an SQL statement for retrieving the nls_length_semantics parameter, it seems that the database returns the result to the informatica server but it hang for some reason.
Any idea about what is going on, and how to solve this problem?
Thank you all
