Batch Installer Configuration File

You should We assume that you  have opened the Batch Installer configuration file batch_installer_config_file.xml and have assigned the XSD schema  scheduler_universal_agent_installations.xsd XSD schema.  The The XML file contains a basic example with the recommended values for an Agent installation.

The Batch Installer configuration file contains an <installation> element for each Agent instance.  For In addition, the <global> element can be used in a homogeneous environment parameters can be specified with the <global> element and to specify parameters that will be applied to all Agent installations. If a parameter is available specified in the <global> element and in an individual <installation> element then the setting for the specific installation individual element will overwrite the global setting.

Please, perform the The following configuration steps should be carried out:

  1. Global parameters:
    • Specify the <install_path> to point to a location where the Agent should be installed.
    • Specify the path to the YADE settings file (.ini file) in the Batch Installer configuration file with the element <globals><transfer><settings>.
    • Specify the credentials for the SSH connection:
      • <user>: SSH login user 
      • <password>: Password for the login user
      • <sudo_password>: Password for sudo actions
      • <auth_method>: SSH authentication method
      • <port>: SSH port 
    • Specify the post-processing commands that fit your operating system on the Agent server with the <postprocessing> element. The default commands will place the Agent start script under /etc/init.d and will setup the autostart for JobScheduler Universal Agent on a Linux server (example for an Ubuntu distribution):
      • echo ${ssh.sudo_password} | sudo -S cp ${install_path}/jobscheduler_agent/bin/jobscheduler_agent_${agent_options.scheduler_http_port}.sh /etc/init.d/jobscheduler_agent_${agent_options.scheduler_http_port}
      • echo ${ssh.sudo_password} | sudo -S update-rc.d jobscheduler_agent_${agent_options.scheduler_http_port} defaults
  2. Installation parameters (specified for each Agent installation):
    • Agent options:
      • <scheduler_user>: Agent user
      • <scheduler_log_dir>: Logs folder for the Agent
    • SSH Host 

Info
titlePost-processing commands
  • The SSH login user has to become root in order to execute these commands. Therefore the SSH login user should be included to sudoers.
  • These two commands will be executed by the job node PerformInstall, the last job node in the job chain. If you want to add more commands, please add the call on the job node.
  • Note that the values for the elements defined in the Batch Installer configuration file can be used for the postprocessing commands, for instance:

    • ${install_path}: the value for the element <install_path>

    • ${agent_options.scheduler_http_port}: the value for the element <scheduler_http_port>. If not defined, the default value (4445 in this case) is taken, like in the example below.

 

An example for the example Batch Installer configuration file for the installation of two Agents might look like this:
