Agent binary files are installed by running the install-agent.sh script with the -binary parameter. Note that all agent data sets are considered binary files. Depending on the installation method, agent data sets are either installed by the SMP/E process or by submitting the BUZEXPD job.
After the binary files are installed, they can be used by multiple agents. Typically, they are installed to a shared volume and made accessible by multiple systems in read-only mode.
Agent config files are installed by running the install-agent.sh script with the -config parameter. The installation program prompts you to specify the directory of the agent binary before installation the process can start. You should specify a different directory for the agent config.
The HFS CodeStation and the deploy backup directories are also located in the agent config directory. The storage space calculation described in the Choosing a CodeStation and planning storage topic applies to the agent config directory.
In the binary and config installation mode, only the agent binary needs to be upgraded. When needed the agent config is automatically upgraded, when you start the agent or run the buztool.sh script.
