Step 2. Install a Secure Agent (runtime environment)

Step 2. Install a Secure Agent (runtime environment)

A Secure Agent is a small footprint application that enables secure communication across the firewall between your organization and IICS. It enables IICS to get through the firewall to access application, relational database, and file sources and targets in your on-premises network.
In this step, you launch a Secure Agent on a Google Compute Engine from the Marketplace.
The Secure Agent is listed in GCP Marketplace. Go to the Marketplace to launch it.
  1. Search for
    IICS
     and click
    Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Secure Agent
    :
    In this image, "IICS" is entered in the search bar at the top. The page shows two search results: "Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Secure Agent" and "Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (Beta)."
  2. Click
    LAUNCH
    :
    The blue LAUNCH button appears in the top portion of the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Secure Agent page.
  3. Enter the following information on the
    New Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Secure Agent deployment
     page and accept the default values for all other properties:
    Property
    Description
    Region

    Operating System
    Select Linux.
    Username
    Enter your IICS user name.
    Install Token
    Paste the Secure Agent install token that you get from the IICS
    Administrator
     service.*
    * Perform the following steps to get the install token:
    1. Log in to IICS.
    2. Select
      Administrator
      , and then click
      Runtime Environments
      .
    3. Click
      Generate Install Token
      .
    4. Click
      Copy
       to copy the install token string:
      The Secure Agent Token dialog box contains the install token, which is a long string of characters. The Copy button appears to the right of the install token.
  4. Click
    Deploy
    :
    The "New Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services Secure Agent deployment" page lists the deployment name, virtual machine configuration properties, networking properties, and IICS account details. The Deploy button appears at the bottom of the page.
    When the deployment completes, you will see the following page:
    The page lists information about the Secure Agent. The status message at the top indicates that the Secure Agent has been deployed successfully.
    You should also see the Secure Agent listed on the
    Runtime Environments
     page in
    Administrator
    :
    The Runtime Environments page in Administrator shows that the status of the new Secure Agent is "Up and Running."
Your runtime environment should be listed with the status "Up and Running" before you continue to the next step. If you see the status "Not all the services are running," wait 5-10 minutes for the agent to finish starting up and installing updates.
