IQ Bot installation prerequisites

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

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

Hardware and software requirements

Importante: 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.

Nota: The following list of installation packages are not supported from Automation 360.27 release onwards:

On-Premises custom fresh installation - Custom installation + HTTP + SQL authentication + local account installation
On-Premises Express fresh installation
On-Premises without internet fresh installation
On-Premises GCP fresh and upgrade
On-Premises SDS fresh installations (AD and Non-AD)
On-Premises Migration from IQ Bot 11.x to On-Premises Automation 360.x using Migration Assistant Tool (MAT).
Nota: The base version must be Version 11.3.5.6. Any customer on IQ Bot 11.x version prior to On-Premises must first upgrade to On-Premises and then migrate to Automation 360.27.
