  1. Specify the 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 
    • Use the <postprocessing> element to specify the post-processing commands that for the Agent server's operating system. The default commands for an Ubuntu distribution will place the Agent start script under /etc/init.d and will setup the autostart for the Universal Agent:
      • 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. Specify the installation parameters for each Agent installation:
    • Agent options:
      • <scheduler_user>: Agent user
      • <scheduler_log_dir>: Logs folder for the Agent
    • <host>: 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 PerformInstall job node, which is the last job node in the job chain. If you want to add more commands, please add the call to 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, as in the example below.

An example Batch Installer configuration file for the installation of two Agents is attached on this wiki page (download: batch_installer_config_file.xml) and might look like this:
