Installing Agents
Before You Begin
Observe the following points before you begin installing the DataCloud Agent.
• If you install the DataCloud Agent on a machine that is also running one of the following DataConnect services, you may incur additional configuration requirements to avoid conflicts:

• You must initially log in to Integration Manager from the Agent to register the Agent and grant access to run jobs on your behalf. Ensure outbound access is available to Integration Manager.
