Environment
This article describes the use of the JobScheduler Universal Agent Batch Installer in a heterogeneous environment. We define a heterogeneous environment as one in which a number of JobScheduler Agents will be installed according to different prerequisites:
...
- First Installation: an Agent has not yet been installed on the server.
- Update Installation: an Agent has already been installed and may be up and running.

The JobScheduler Agents will be installed by a JobScheduler Master that:

Configuration
XML files
Configuring complex XML files with a text editor is often a tedious and error-prone procedure. To get around this, we recommend that you use our XML Editor to manage the configuration files required for the Batch Installer. The XML Editor automatically validates configuration files and therefore reduces the possibility of configuration errors. See the Using the XML Editor chapter below for more detailed information about using the XML Editor.
- After downloading the XML Editor, extract the contents of the zip file to a convenient folder (an installation routine is not required) and start the
sos.xml.editor.exe
program. - Open your
yade_agent_batch_installer_settings.xml
YADE configurationconfig/batch_installer
folder and assign the XSD schema - Open your
batch_installer_config_file.xml
configuration file in the XML Editor and assign thescheduler_universal_agent_installations.xsd
schema: both files are located in theconfig/batch_installer
folder. See the Batch Installer Configuration File chapter below for instructions on how to configure the Batch Installer configuration file.

JobScheduler Jobs
Carry out the following once the job and job chain have been extracted to the live
folder of your JobScheduler Master:
AgentBatchInstaller
job: adjust the parameter values for theAgentBatchInstaller
job in your JobScheduler Master.Set the
installation_definition_file
job parameter to point to the Batch Installer configuration file.
Installation of the Agents
The Agents can be installed after the XML configuration files and JobScheduler jobs have been configured. Start a task for the AgentBatchInstaller
job as follows:
- Open a JobScheduler Operating Center (JOC) browser window for the JobScheduler master.
- Go on the "Jobs" Window and open the "batch_installer_universal_agent" folder.
- Right click on the job to open the context menu.
- Select the
Start task immediately
operation. - This job will create the appropriate JobScheduler orders as explained in the chapter Batch Installer Application.
Example: Installation of two Agents
The following example describes the installation of two JobScheduler Universal Agents on separate servers - that is, one JobScheduler Universal Agent will be installed per Server. First of all, the YADE configuration file for the file transfer will be specified (in XML format), it will then be converted to the YADE settings file format (.ini
) and finally the Batch Installer configuration file will be specified.

Note that the file shown above is an in the YADE XML file format and that YADE versions 1.10 and older require a .ini
file to perform the transfer that is specified in the <globals><install_path><transfer><settings>
element in the Batch Installer configuration file.
- We recommended that you use the XML Editor to convert configuration files from XML to the
.ini
format (see the XML Editor for converting YADE configuration files (XML) into YADE setting files (.ini) section below for more information). - The following example shows as an example a
.ini
file that has been converted from the XML file above. You can download the example using this link: yade_agent_batch_installer_settings.ini.
