Installing Hub for Windows

  1. If a previous version of Hub or Ironstream Integration Component (IIC) is present:
    1. If you are using a Splunk Forwarder with Hub/IIC, then stop the Splunk Forwarder with the command:

      $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk stop

      To verify that the Forwarder started, use the command:

      $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk status

    2. Locate and note its install path for use in a later step.
    3. Uninstall the previous version of Hub/IIC. Existing configuration files will be left untouched by the uninstall and can be reused. For details to remove the previous version, see the uninstall section of the appropriate version of the Installation Guide.
  2. Copy the Ironstream Hub installation MSI to the server where it is to be installed.
  3. Double-click the MSI file to launch the Installer.
  4. The Installer allows you to specify the installation path of your choice. The default path is:

    <drive>:\Program Files\Precisely\Ironstream Hub\

    Note: If you had a previous version of IIC installed and you want to continue using your existing configuration files without having to relocate them then, you will need to change the install path to the location of the previous install. The default path in previous versions of IIC was:
    <drive>:\Program Files\EView Technology\EView400i\
  5. After installation completes:
    • Go to the Windows Control Panel -> Firewall and open inbound network traffic on ports 9850 and 80.
    • The Ironstream IBM i Configuration Tool service will start automatically. The Ironstream IBM i Configuration Tool service provides the browser-based Configuration Tool for IBM i source configurations.
    • The Ironstream Hub Portal service will start automatically. This is a web browser-based user interface where Ironstream data pipelines are configured.
      Note: The Hub service is installed in Manual mode. The service will not stay running if there are no pipelines.You should start it when you have defined pipelines, and after this you may wish to change the service to be Automatic so it starts up after a reboot.
    Note: The Hub service does not start automatically.

The IBM for i agent must be downloaded separately, it is not provided as a part of the Hub installation. Contact Support if you need assistance.
