Running the Installation Program - ironstream_for_servicenow_discovery_1

From the IBM i command line, enter this command to create the Ironstream runtime library EVIEW:

<name of .SAVF file without the extension>/EVINSTALL

For example, if the file is called EVREL12.SAVF, the command will be

EVREL12/EVINSTALL

Press F4 to see the installation options, or use the defaults described below:

Parameter	Keyword	Default	Description
`MMS Port`	`MMSPORT`	`9000`	The TCP/IP port number which will be opened and listened on for connections from the MCS process on the Ironstream collector server. Enter any unused port number between 1024 and 49151. This number will be ignored if the installation is upgrading a previous Ironstream version.
`Backup Library`	`BACKUPLIB`	`QGPL`	The name of the library where a backup of the current EVIEW library will be saved with a savefile name EVIEW7SAVE. This parameter will only be used if the installation is upgrading a previous Ironstream version. Use *“NONE”** to skip the creation of a backup savefile. The EVINSTALL program will carry over any message queue and message ID filter definitions that were previously defined to the new version.

This program creates the agent library EVIEW and also creates an IBM i user profile EVUSER, which has ownership of all Ironstream objects. If your IBM i system language is not English, after installation of the agent, you must manually set the language for the EVSBS subsystem to English before you can use it. For more information, see appropriate IBM i documentation.

User class and special authorities for the EVUSER Profile

By default, the installation process creates the EVUSER user profile as a user class (*USER) profile with several special authorities. These authorities allow Ironstream products to access the system information required for their operations

Table 1. Product operations that require special authorities
Special Authority	Product operations that require special authority
*ALLOBJ	Required for monitoring jobs and accessing object types such as: Message queues User journals QAUDJRN journal System database objects IFS files Network resources
*SPLCTL	Required for accessing spooled files (*SPLF) used by the Job Log Scanning function.
*JOBCTL	Required for job manipulation by the Ironstream for OMi product.

If you remove one or more of these authorities from the EVUSER profile, you must grant the individual resources to be monitored or queried to EVUSER using the GRTOBJAUT command. .

Table 2. Necessary authorities for monitored resources
Resource to Monitor	Minimum EVUSER Authority Required
Message queues	USE on message queue USE on queue’s library
QAUDJRN journal	USE and OBJEXIST on journal EXECUTE on journal’s library (QSYS) USE on journal’s receiver *EXECUTE on receiver’s library
User journals	USE and OBJEXIST on journal EXECUTE on journal’s library USE on journal’s receiver *EXECUTE on receiver’s library
Job Logs	USE authority and DSPDTA(YES) on job log’s output queue
QHST log	None
IFS files	USE and OBJEXIST on journal EXECUTE on journal’s library USE on journal’s receiver *EXECUTE on receiver’s library

This concludes the installation of the Ironstream software on the IBM i LPAR. Continue with the Ironstream for ServiceNow Discovery for IBM i Administration Guide for information about setting up the configuration parameters for the agent, starting the server processes and the agent subsystem.
