Dependencies
IQ Bot is dependent on the following software, which is automatically installed during the installation process:
  • Microsoft .NET Framework v4.7.2. The system prompts for a restart to complete the update.
  • Erlang v22.0
  • RabbitMQ v3.8.18 v3.7.17
  • NodeJS v10.16.3

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client - QFE

  • Python 3.5.4 (32 bit)
Note: This is installed automatically by the installer and requires a system restart.
Note: For IQ Bot extensions feature to work, the custom extraction services needs to be running on an engine node. We recommend that this engine node be part of a different machine instead of the one that has the IQ Bot node. The configuration of the machine running the engine node (as described in the figure) depends on the requirements of the custom extraction service built for the specific fixed format documents.
