INFA _DOMAIN_CONFIGURATION

I refere to 9.0.1
PowerCenter Installation and
Configuration Guide and I found below statement.


INFA_DOMAINS_FILE
The installer creates a domains.infa file in the Informatica installation directory. The domains.infa file contains
the connectivity information for the gateway nodes in a domain, including the domain names, domain host
names, and domain host port numbers.
40 Chapter 5: After You Install
Set the value of the INFA_DOMAINS_FILE variable to the path and file name of the domains.infa file. If you
configure the INFA_DOMAINS_FILE variable, you can run infacmd and pmcmd from a directory other
than /server/bin.
Configure the INFA_DOMAINS_FILE variable on the machine where you install the Informatica services. On
Windows, configure INFA_DOMAINS_FILE as a system variable.

I have set the environment variable accordingly as

INFA_DOMAINS_FILE=/informatica/node1/PC951/domains.infa

but I am not able to run the pmcmd command from other Dir than /server/bin dir. Please make me correct I am thinking in wrong way  or do I need to change any other configurations ?
Please suggest your thoughts on it.

n 9.0.1 version :

                    INFA_HOME/server/bin directory"  in suggested post by "keep $INFA_HOME/server/bin directory in the beginning of the environment variable so that you can execute pmcmd/pmrep commands from any directory."
Kindly let me know.

Thanks
