  • The Agent Batch Installer provides a solution:
    • for deploying JobScheduler Universal Agents,
    • which allows the installation or update of any number of Agents on multiple servers. 
  • The Agent Batch Installer is used for deploying Agents on Unix systems. It is not available for Windows systems for the following reasons:
    • The JobScheduler Master transfers the files needed for deployment to the Agent servers using SSH:
      • Windows standard installations do not come with an SSH client. This means that additional software would have to be installed on every Agent server just for performing the file transfer.
      • Note that this only applies for the Agent servers. If the JobScheduler Master is running on a Windows machine, this solution can still be used for deploying from there 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 from http://www.sos-berlin.com/jobscheduler-downloads under "Universal Agent Batch Installer".
