2. Right-click the downloaded installer file (integration-manager-3.x.x.exe) and select "Run as Administrator".

   note

   If you have a previous 3.x.x version installed, you will be prompted to uninstall first. Uninstalling will shutdown running services and prepare for library updates, it will NOT remove or alter ProgramData (conf files, logs, etc.). See Uninstallation below.

3. Accept the License Agreement.

4. Select the installation path (default: C:\Program Files\Actian\IntegrationManager).

5. Select the shared data path (default: C:\ProgramData\Actian\IntegrationManager).

Installation should take less than a minute.

Configuration/Reconfiguration

The application.properties file can be used for a variety of configurations to tailor Integration Manager to your requirements and environment. See Application Property Reference for a description of available properties.

note

If you have a previous installation of Integration Manager, none of your existing property values will be changed.

1. Locate the application.properties file (default: C:\ProgramData\Actian\IntegrationManager\conf\application.properties).

2. Confirm or alter the path to your DataConnect v12 license file using the property engine.licensePath (default: C:\ProgramData\Actian\IntegrationManager\license\cosmos.slc).

   note

   If you were previously using Integration Manager v2 and DataConnect v11, you will need to alter this value before executing any integrations. DataConnect v11 and v12 licenses are not interchangeable.

3. To run Integration Manager on a different port, set the property server.port (default: 8080).

4. Any change to the application.properties file will require a restart of the service.

   • Go to Windows → Administrative Tools → Services.
   • Right-click Actian Integration Manager and select Restart.

note

Configuration file changes will survive uninstallation/reinstallation.

Docker

Docker Installation

Integration Manager can be installed using a Docker image via Docker Desktop and Docker CLI.

Prerequisites

• DataConnect Cloud or Avalanche Subscription
• Docker Hub account
• Access to the Actian Docker Hub. Create a New Case to request access to the Actian Docker Hub.

Install Docker Desktop

1. Download Docker Desktop from https://hub.docker.com/.

2. Run the Docker Desktop installer using recommended settings.

3. Launch Docker Desktop and sign in.

4. Click the Hub tab.

5. Select actian in the hub dropdown.

6. Enter manager in the search field.

7. Ensure that you have access to the actian/integration-manager-standalone image:

   

8. Create the following Docker Compose file with the name docker-compose.yaml:

   version: '3.8'
   volumes:
     job_logs:
     conf_props:
     h2_dir:
     repo_dir:
     license_path:
       driver: local
       driver_opts:
         type: none
         device: <path to license file, such as ./src/main/license>
         o: bind
   services:
     im_service:
       image: actian/integration-manager-standalone:3.3.0-SNAPSHOT
       user: root
       privileged: true
       hostname: im-manager
       volumes:
         - conf_props:/opt/Actian/conf
         - license_path:/opt/Actian/volume
         - h2_dir:/opt/Actian/embedded/data
         - job_logs:/opt/Actian/local/work/job
         - repo_dir:/opt/Actian/repository
       ports:
         - 8080:8080
       command: sh -c "tail -f /dev/null"

9. Save the docker-compose.yaml file to local folder.

10. Update the device property to point to the path of your cosmos.slc license file, relative to the folder containing the docker-compose.yaml file.

11. The image specified above is 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT. You can specify any image listed in the Tags column:

    

    note

    If latest is listed for the image, specifying image: actian/integration-manager-standalone:latest will pull the latest image.

12. If desired, you can use a different port. To use port 8085, for example, you would change the above port entry to 8085:8080.

13. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing the docker-compose.yaml file.

14. Run the following command:

    docker compose up

15. The Integration Manager service should now be running in your Docker container.

    note

    The link in Docker shown below to localhost:8080 (or whichever port you specified) will not work. To access Integration Manager, go to http://localhost:8080/ui/.
