2. Configure the Transfer of the Universal Agent Installation Files and the Installation of the Agents
2.1 Edit the XML Configuration 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. - Use the XML Editor to configure transfer of the Universal Agent installation files:
- Open your
yade_agent_batch_installer_settings.xml
YADE configurationfile, which is located in the
config/batch_installer
folder and assign the following schema in the XML Editor:- http://www.sos-berlin.com/schema/yade/YADE_configuration_v1.0.xsd.
- See the YADE profiles for the file transfer chapter below for instructions on how to configure the YADE configuration file.
- Open your
- Use the XML Editor to configure the installation of the Universal Agents:
- 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.

- 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
