Generating the configuration for the Watson Query Remote Agent

Generate the Configuration hash and Instance ID that is used to deploy the Watson Query Remote Agent.

1. Navigate to the Run SQL page.
2. Enter the following SQL command and then enter the value for each parameter listed in the following table.

   call dvsys.generateconfighash('<Agent name>','<Agent description>', <Data port>, <Management port>, 'peerAuthentication', null, -1, -1,'DV_EXTERNAL_NODE_HOSTNAME_PORT=<Exposed Cloud hostname:port>‘, ?, ?, ?);

   Table 1. Parameter, parameter descriptions, and default values that you use to generate the configuration for the Remote Agent.

   Parameter	Description	Default value
   Agent name	Enter the name of the Remote Agent. You can only use uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore symbol ( _ ).	Defaults to the hostname where the agent runs.
   Agent description	Enter an optional textual description of the Remote Agent. Do not include new lines or single quotation marks.	–

3. Select Run All.
4. Expand the Results output and export it.
   • In the Output values column, take a note of the Instance ID and Configuration hash.

     • Instance ID is listed in the first row.
     • Configuration Hash is listed in the second row.
   After you generate this information, proceed to deploy the Remote Agent on Linux® or Windows.
