IQ Bot installation prerequisites

Verify the hardware, software, and configuration required to install IQ Bot On-Premises.

Note: This page applies to On-Premises installations only. For Cloud deployment, see Automation 360 IQ Bot Cloud deployed.

Hardware and software requirements

Important: As a prerequisite step, open ports 4369 and 25672 and add inbound firewall rules to allow traffic to these ports on each target machine. To add nodes to the cluster, sync the RabbitMQ v3.8.18 cookies to enable running any RabbitMQ v3.8.18 commands. If IQ Bot is already installed on the target machine, clean up and remove the existing cookies.

Installation limitations

Database encryption limitations

Installation time increases when encryption of the SQL database backup file is in progress, and also when the database backup file size increases.

The encryption process of the SQL database might result in the creation of large transaction logs. Allocate at least 3 to 4 times more disk space than the database backup file size.
