DQP Installation¶
Alation Cloud Service Applies to Alation Cloud Service instances of Alation
Customer Managed Applies to customer-managed instances of Alation
After fulfilling the DQP Prerequisites proceed with the installing DQP.
DQP Installation¶
Upon request a download link for the DQP installation zip file will be provided. Download the file and then transfer the file to the ASM, using scp, for example:
scp -i your_pem_file_here.pem dqp_engine.zip user@instance_location:~/.
On the ASM instance, uncompress the installer:
# If you need to install unzip:
sudo apt-get install zip
# uncompress the installer:
unzip dqp_engine.zip -d dqp
Now make the installer executable and run the installer:
cd dqp
chmod +x installer_dqp.sh
./installer_dqp.sh
When the installer has completed, check that Docker images have been created - look for repository alation_fde/dqp_engine. (Note: Portainer is an optional component which can be used for general container management).
sudo docker image ls
In the following example the dqp_engine image is listed and so has been created normally:
DQP Upgrades¶
To upgrade DQP simply upload and install the new DQP image by following the DQP Installation installation steps above.
The installer will automatically delete any existing containers and images automatically. Your DQP configuration, rules, and schedules will be persisted.
The Alation Service Manager (ASM) will create new containers using the latest image if the original containers are not found.
