Hub license files must be located in the license
sub-directory of the conf
directory, where the software is installed. There may be multiple files in this directory. They are plain text files with a naming convention of:
ihublicense.<source>_<target>.txt
<source>
will be IBMi or IBMZ.
<target>
will be BigPanda, Datadog, File, Generic, Splunk, or TCPIP.
An example license looks like this:
You can see the account name, Source, Target, and expiry date to which this relates. These are all encrypted into the signature, so you cannot change any of them, or else the license will be deemed invalid and unusable.
Ironstream Hub in zCX Container
If you are using the zCX version of the Hub, you must use the docker cp command to copy the licence files.
For example, the following command can be used to copy a licence file for z/OS Source to File Target using the Hub container to access the shared volume:
docker cp ihublicense.IBMZ_File.txt ironstream-hub:/opt/ihub/conf/license/ihublicense.IBMZ_File.txt
