  • The Agent Batch Installer provides a solution:
    • for installing and updating deploying JobScheduler Universal Agents.
    • which allows the installation or update of any number of Agents on multiple servers. 
  • The Agent Batch Installer applies only for deploying Agents on Unix systems due to the following reasons:
    • The JobScheduler Master transfers the needed files for the deployment to the Agent servers using SSH 
      • Windows standard installations do not come with an SSH client which means that additional software should be installed on every Agent server just for performing the file transfer.
      • This applies only for the Agent servers. That is, the JobScheduler Master can run on a Windows machine and deploy the Agents on UNIX servers.
    • Most Windows administrators work already with other more complex tools to deploy software on Windows machines (deployment tools such as SSCM), whereas for Unix the deployment tools are not that complex and it makes sense to offer such a tool for them.
  • The Agent Batch Installer solution can be downloaded on http://www.sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler-downloads under "Universal Agent Batch Installer". It is only at the Unix section available - although it can be used on a Windows machine if the JobScheduler Master is running there - referring to the explanations above.
