Preparing to Install on Windows

The Streaming Integration Platform components run as Windows services under the context of the NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService account. The platform supports the concept of execution profiles, with each profile having different settings.

All of the Windows component installers prompt for various configuration values during installation, but they also check for the file %ProgramData%\Synergex\SIP\sip.conf, and if they find it, they read default configuration values from the file. You can create this file before installing any components to define custom configuration settings. If you don't pre-create the file, it will be created with default values by the first component you install. This ensures that any components you subsequently install will use the same values.

sip.conf with default values
[SIP]
CONFIG_SERVER_HOST=localhost
CONFIG_SERVER_PORT=5121
DEFAULT_PROFILE=default
ISAM_AGENT_PORT=5126
JSON_AGENT_PORT=5128
SQL_AGENT_PORT=5127

The information in sip.conf is used only by the component installers. Changing the file after installation will not affect currently installed components. To change any of these configuration values, you must remove and reinstall installed components.

Configuration Files

If Configuration Server has not been deployed in your environment, you will need to provide several configuration files and place them in the appropriate directories for the components that you will deploy.
