On the System page, you can also manage the following system settings:

Create Hub

Only users with SysAdmin and HubCreation permissions can create a hub.

To create a new hub:

1. Click the Create Hub button at the top right.

2. In the Create Hub dialog, specify the name for the hub and optionally a description.

   Hub names must consist of lowercase identifiers: ASCII letters, digits, and underscore '_'. Hub names must not start with a digit.

Restore Hub From Snapshot

Only users with SysAdmin and HubCreation permissions can restore a hub from a hub snapshot.

Option Restore Hub from Snapshot restores a hub from a hub snapshot. The hub snapshot is a zipped file created using option Save Hub Snapshot. The name of the restored hub must be unique within the database repository. The restored hub is created in the frozen state.

The Restore Hub from Snapshot option corresponds to the hvrsnapshotrestore CLI command.

To restore a hub from a hub snapshot:

1. Click the More Options icon at the top right of the System page and select Restore Hub from Snapshot.

2. Browse for the required snapshot file and click Open.

3. For the hub snapshot saved with a transport encryption key, specify the key in the ENTER TRANSPORT KEY field and click Continue.
   

4. In the Restore Hub from Snapshot dialog, specify the name of the restored hub and select the required options for the description of the snapshot.

5. Click Create.

   

After successfully restoring the hub, you can switch to the hub using the Switch Hub dialog. To access the dialog, click SWITCH HUB at the bottom of the left sidebar.

Licensing

Option Licensing allows you to manage the Fivetran HVR license for the current hub system. This includes creating/deleting the Fivetran account registration, adding/deleting the license(s), viewing the Fivetran account registration details such as account name and registration ID, and viewing the license details such as license validity status, expiry date etc. A license must be supplied either by registering the hub system with the Fivetran account or by manually adding the license file (.lic). For more information on licenses, see section Licensing.

To manage the Fivetran HVR licenses on the Command Line Interface (CLI), see command hvrlicense.

The Licensing dialog can be accessed by clicking the More Options icon at the top right of the System page and select Licensing.

The license file must be available on your system.

1. In the Licensing dialog, click Add License Manually.
2. Browse and select the license file (.lic) and click Open. The license will be added to the current hub system.

Deleting Fivetran Account Registration

However, deleting a Fivetran account registration will immediately stop uploading the Monthly Active Rows (MAR) data, and the auto-renewal of the license will be canceled, causing the license to expire after seven days.

Acquiring Fivetran Account License

If a license that was added using the Fivetran account is deleted, you can fetch that license from your Fivetran account by clicking Acquire Fivetran Account License. The option to acquire a Fivetran account license is not displayed if the Fivetran account registration is already deleted using the Delete Registration option.

Viewing or Accessing Fivetran Account

To manage your Fivetran account or view your billing and usage, click on the Registration ID displayed in the Licensing dialog. For more information about using the Fivetran dashboard and account management, see Account Management in Fivetran documentation.
