Understanding Actuate BIRT iHub architecture : Understanding BIRT iHub architecture : Installing and configuring iHub System
 
Installing and configuring iHub System
The installation, configuration, and administration of an iHub System can include the following tasks:
*Install a new iHub using one of the following options:
*Automated installation
Run the installation program to configure iHub and the OOTB PostgreSQL database or an alternative, supported RDBMS.
*Cloud deployment
Deploy a prepared image of an installed iHub run-time environment. The administrator deploys the image by unbundling an archive or installing a virtual image on the target machine. The administrator can create a customized image by generating an archive of an installed iHub run-time environment. Alternatively, an out-of-the-box (OOTB) image is available as a separate iHub distribution package in some environments.
*Upgrade an existing Actuate iServer installation from a previous release, such as Release 10 Service Pack 1, to Release 11 Service Pack 4, using the automated installation program. Perform the tasks described in “Performing a side-by-side migration,” in Chapter 4, “Migrating to BIRT iHub,” to migrate to iHub in a side-by-side installation operation.
For more information on installing iHub, see Chapter 2, “Installing BIRT iHub,” later in this book.
