Data Gateways prerequisites

The following conditions must be met before configuring Data Gateways:

  • The Blue Prism version must be version 6.5 Enterprise Edition or above.
  • The SQL server instance on which the Blue Prism database is located must be configured to allow the Data Gateways engine to connect to it. This requires:
    • The TCP/IP protocol to be enabled and set to Listen All on a static port.
    • Server authentication to be configured to accept both SQL Server and Windows authentication modes. Data Gateways requires a login, created in SQL Server, to access the Blue Prism database.
  • Blue Prism must be configured to use an encryption scheme which is stored on the server. It is therefore recommended that the encryption scheme configured in the Server Configuration utility (BPServer.exe) is used on each application server that is required to run Data Gateways.
  • The user account that runs the Blue Prism application server process must have read and write permissions, so that the Logstash service can write to the bpconf.conf file (found in the same directory as Automate.config).
