Blueprism HUB

[abab01]

Hi all,

I’m setting up Blue Prism Hub mainly because I need the Authentication Server to enable API access to our Blue Prism environment.

I’ve been looking through the install script (Install-hubv5.ps1) and the config files, but I’m still unsure about a few things:

1. Do I need to create the SQL databases myself?

• Should I create empty databases for each Hub component before running the installer?

• Or does the installer create the databases automatically?

1. Where do I put the database names?

• There’s a DbName field under SQLServerConfiguration in the config file. Is that the name of the database the service uses?

• I also saw an Optional → Databases section. Do I need to fill that in for each service?

1. If I want to install another service later, do I just run the installer again?

• For example, if I install AuthServer now, and want to add Dashboard later, do I just update the config and re-run the script?

• Will it only install the new service or will it try to reinstall everything?

I’m not very experienced with SQL Server, but I can create empty databases and logins myself if needed. Just want to be sure I’m doing this the right way.

Thanks!
