IBM Cloud pak for Integration - Enabling Aspera

Question & Answer


Question

Description
IBM Knowledge Center link,
Trying to enable Aspera on ICP4I v4.1 running on OCP 4.2 https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGT7J_19.4/install/install_aspera.html It does not provide complete instructions on how to get Aspera license.
Could you provide instruction to get Aspera license key?
Why it's asking license key? 
You must establish the license key as a secret to be used in the installation. While logged in using cloudctl, or logged in directly to the host, navigate to the directory containing the license key.
Then, create the secret by running the following command:
kubectl create secret generic aspera-server \ --from-file=ASPERA_LICENSE="./aspera-license" \ --from-literal=TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY="my_secure_string"

Cause

The Aspera is the only component of CP4I that requires a separate license key.
