Birst Cloud Agent Installation and Upgrade Notes

Birst Connect 2.0 must run in a location that can access the data that you want to extract and then post that data to the Birst server.
Birst Cloud Agents can run on Windows, Mac, or Unix systems.
There are no specific hardware requirements for Birst Connect 2.0. The processing and memory requirements are small.
Communication runs over HTTPS using TLS 1.1+. Birst only supports TLS 1.1+.
The data is GZIPed and sent in chunks with SHA-256 signatures.
Extract is a single process; there is no specific deployment structure other than access to the data to be uploaded.
Server name, database name, user name, and generic connection strings can use single-value constant variables. See.

Caution:

We recommend updating your Agent(s) after each major Birst release.
