Introduction
The JobScheduler Universal Agent Batch Installer is a set of files used together by a JobScheduler Master to install the Universal Agent on local and remote servers.
This article is one of a series describing how to configure the JobScheduler Universal Agent Batch Installer so that a number of Universal Agents can be readily installed on a number of servers.
...
This article describes the use of the JobScheduler Universal Agent Batch Installer in a homogeneous environment - that is an environment in which a number of JobScheduler Agents will be installed according to the same prerequisites:
- Requirements for this use case:A JobScheduler Master is up and running.
- The Agent installations are to be performed on any number of servers that have the same operating system. One Agent is to be installed per server.
- The Agents will be operated with the same user, listening port and installation path.
...
Installation Procedure
General requirements:
- A JobScheduler Master is up and running.
- A Java Run-time Environment in version 1.8 or newer is installed on the system(s) the Agent is to be installed on.
- We recommend that you use the SOS XML Editor to manage the configuration files required for the Batch Installer. More information about the installation and use of the XML editor will be provided later in this article.

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
- Open your
...
- following schema in the XML Editor:
...
- See the YADE profiles for the file transfer chapter below for instructions on how to configure the YADE configuration file.
- 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.
- Open your

2.2 Configure the JobScheduler Jobs
Carry out the following once the job and job chain Once the Job and Job Chain have been extracted to the live
folder of your JobScheduler Master carry out the following:

...
-
J
ob:
...
- Set the parameter values for the
AgentBatchInstaller
job in your JobScheduler Master. Set the
installation_definition_file
job parameter to the path that points to the Batch Installer configuration file.
- Set the parameter values for the
3 Installation of the Agents
The Agents can be installed after the XML configuration files and JobScheduler jobs 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 Orders for the JobScheduler as explained in the description of the Batch Installer Application.
