Before you begin: Prepare for the Pega Process Fabric Hub installation:

• Ensure that your Pega Platform environment is hosted on an HTTPS port and has valid certificates.
• In your Pega Platform environment, create an application that you want to route assignments to the Pega Process Fabric Hub. For more information, see Creating applications.
• As the Pega Process Fabric Hub opens assignments directly in the respective application, ensure that a default portal for users in an access group is the portal in which they process the assignments. For example, assign Your application:Managers access group to the Case Manager portal. For more information, see Granting portal access to an access group.
• Create a request to obtain the PegaProcessFabricHub.jar product rule file. For more information, see Digital Delivery.

The Pega Process Fabric Hub installation adds the DataSyncOperator operator in your Pega Platform environment. Application registration and background processing rules reference the DataSyncOperator operator. You need this operator in your environment for various processes that are connected to the Pega Process Fabric Hub.

1. In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureApplicationDistributionImport.
2. On the Application: Import wizard tab, in the Import file section, select Local file, and then click Choose file.
3. In the file browser window, navigate to the PegaProcessFabricHub.jar product rule file, and then double-click the file.
4. On the Application: Import wizard tab, click Next.
5. In the File information section, select the Enable advanced mode to provide more granular control over the import process check box, and then click Next.
6. On the Operators tab, select the Enable new operators and overwrite existing operators on import check box, and then click Next.Result: Your system now includes the DataSyncOperator operator. Ensure that you enable the DataSyncOperator operator and then leave the operator unchanged. Editing fields in the operator rule form can cause issues during activating your applications and changing the operator's access group can cause the synchronization between your applications and the Pega Process Fabric Hub to fail. If you leave the Enable new operators and overwrite existing operators on import, activation of remote applications fail.
7. On the No Changes tab, click Next.
8. On the Updates tab, click Next.
9. In the Aged Updates section, click Next.
10. After the import is complete, click Done.

Result: The Pega Process Fabric Hub is installed in your Pega Platform environment as a separate application. The following access groups are available in your system: PPF:Administrators, PPF:Configurators, PPF:Managers, and PPF:Users. Users with the PPF:Configurators access group can register applications in the Pega Process Fabric Hub.What to do next: When the Pega Process Fabric Hub is available in your Pega Platform environment, complete the following tasks:

• Create operators for the Pega Process Fabric Hub with IDs that are the same as operator IDs from remote applications that you want to communicate with the Pega Process Fabric Hub. For more information, see Creating operator IDs.
• Provide users with access to the Pega Process Fabric Hub by assigning PPF:Configurators, PPF:Managers, and PPF:Users to operators. For more information, see Defining operator contact information and application access.
• If you host your Pega Process Fabric Hub application in a Pega Cloud environment, perform additional configurations that are specific for Pega Cloud. For more information, see Preparing Pega Process Fabric Hub for the Pega Cloud services environment.
• Optionally, if your business scenario requires managing the Pega Process Fabric Hub from Dev Studio and Admin Studio, configure an administrative user. For more information, see Creating an administrative user for the Pega Process Fabric Hub.
• Ensure that operators with the PPF:Configurators access group can check out rules. For more information, see Defining security information for an operator.
• Create connections between the Pega Process Fabric Hub and your applications so that the Pega Process Fabric Hub can fetch data about assignments and operators. For more information, see Registering applications in the Pega Process Fabric Hub.
