Reconfiguring agents

You can use the agent configuration script to change agents. For example, you can connect an agent to a new server.

By default, the agent reconfiguration script is in the location agentInstall/bin, where agentInstall is the installation location for the agent. The default installation location is /opt/ucd/agent.
To run the script, go to the agentInstall/bin folder and run the following command:
  • Linux™:
    ./configure-agent hostname port agentName
  • Windows™:
    ./configure-agent.cmd hostname port agentName
Important: You must specify each parameter in this command. If you do not want to change one of the values, you must specify the existing value for the parameter.
hostname
Specify the host name of the IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy server that the agent connects to. You can specify a new server or specify the existing server to keep the value unchanged. You cannot change this value on an agent that connects to an agent relay. Also, you cannot change a host name that refers to a server to one that refers to an agent relay.
port
Specify the server port to connect to. The default value is 7918. You can specify a new value or specify the existing value to keep the value unchanged.
agentName
Specify the name for the agent. This name appears in the list of agents on the server. You can specify a new value or specify the existing value to keep the name unchanged.
