  • On Windows Systems:
    • You have to modify the directory permissions for the above .\logs and .\service directories if you extracted the Agent to e.g. C:\Program Files.
      • This step is not required if you extract the Agent e.g. to C:\ProgamData.

      • Start a command prompt with elevated administrative rights and execute e.g.

        Code Block
        language bash title Allow full acces for "Users" on .\service and .\logs directories
        cd "path\to\installation-directory" icacls "service" /L /grant *S-1-5-32-545:(OI)(CI)F icacls "logs" /L /grant *S-1-5-32-545:(OI)(CI)F

  • If more than one run-time instance of an Agent starting from the same Agent installation is used then every instance has to use its individual ./var_<http-port of the instance> data directory, e.g. ./var_4445, ./var_4447 etc. as each Agent instance has to use an individual port when operated on the same server.
  • To start the Agent you can use the commands explained with the JS7 - Agent - Command Line Operation article or your can automate startup from the instructions provided by the below chapter "Automated Startup and Shutdown".

Preparation

• Stop any running JS7 Agent instances. Note that more than one Agent instance can be launched from a single Agent installation.
• Prepare to rollback in case that the update of the JS7 Agent is not successful:
  • Make a backup of the Agent's installation directory and configuration directory, e.g. by creating a .tar.gz/.zip archive.
    • Installation Directory:
      • The default installation directory for the Agent is

        • /opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent for Unix systems,

        • C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent for Windows systems.
    • Configuration Directory
      • The default configuration directory for the Agent is
        • /home/<user-account>/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent_<http-port> for Unix systems,
        • C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent_<http-port> for Windows systems.

...

• The default location of the logs directory is:
  
  • C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent_<http-port>
• Installation log files are named according to the pattern Install_V<release>_<date-time>_....log where <release> is the release number and <date-time> refers to the point in time of installation.
• For further information about logging see JS7 - Logging.
