Secure Agent installation is one of the primary steps involved in IDMC Administration. It uses pluggable microservices for data processing. For example, the Data Integration Server runs all data integration jobs, and the Process Server runs application integration and process orchestration jobs.
You can install and run one Secure Agent on a physical or virtual machine. After you install a Secure Agent, all users in the organization share the Secure Agent. You can configure the Secure Agent properties and move it to a different Secure Agent group. To improve scalability, you can also add multiple agents to a Secure Agent group.
Consider the following guidelines:
- Create a specific user profile to install the Secure Agent with full access to all folders from the Secure Agent installation directory. Don't install the Secure Agent as the root user.
- You can't install more than one Secure Agent on the same machine under the same user account. Multiple agents may exist under different user accounts.
- Don't install the Secure Agent on any node within the Informatica domain.
- Knowledge of basic Linux commands.
- Users should have access to a Linux server.
- Users should have admin access in IDMC ORG.
- Users should generate a valid installation token.
- Understand the secure agent overview.
- Understand the minimum secure agent machine requirements.
- Understand how to download the secure agent binary and install it.
- Understand how to configure the Proxy setting.
- Understand the secure agent installation steps and its minimum server requirements.
