  • Install IBM i Connector (IBM i): Installs IBM i Connector components needed to access IBM i data and objects. You’ll want to answer “yes” in most cases.
    • IBM i Connector Library: The library to install the Connector components into. If you have multiple product instances running on the same IBM i system, make sure to choose a unique library name, to avoid overwriting the library used by other instances.
    • IBM i Connector Library IASP: By default, the Connector library is installed in the system ASP (*SYSBAS). Enter an ASP device name to install on an IASP.

  • Control Instance with STRTCPSVR/ENDTCPSVR (IBM i): Selecting “yes” allows you to manage the product instance with the system’s STRTCPSVR and ENDTCPSVR commands. This also allows the instance to be started automatically when the system starts after an IPL. You’ll want to answer “yes” in most cases.
    • Server Instance Name: Specify the instance name for STRTCPSVR. If you have multiple product instances running on the same IBM I, make sure to choose a unique instance name, to avoid overwriting configuration used by another instance.
    • Server Instance CCSID: Controls the CCSID for the IBM i server job. You should use the same CCSID that you use with your other IBM i applications.
    • Node.js Version: Controls the version of Node.js that will be used to run the server. You can select from any compatible versions that were found on IBM i. You should always use the most up-to-date compatible version, unless your applications require an older version for some reason.
    • Autostart Server Instance: Controls whether or not the server will start up when TCP/IP is started, such as after an IPL or system backup run.

  • Integrate with Separate Profound UI Instance (Profound.js / IBM i): This setting used for optional integration with Profound UI. If you are not using Profound UI you should answer “no”. If you are using Profound UI and plan to call Profound.js applications from Profound UI, answer “yes”.
    • Profound UI Instance Name:  Enter the name of the Profound UI instance you want to integrate with.
