Agent installation properties#
The agent properties in the installed.properties file control details about the agent, including how it connects to the server.
| Property | Default value | Applies to | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| agent.HttpFailoverHandler.disabled | null | JMS | If this property is set to anything other than true, the agent recreates its HTTP proxy connection when it receives JMS messages from a host other than the one configured in http.proxy.host. Setting this property to true disables this behavior. |
| agent.jms.disable_full_encryption | false | JMS | If this property is set to true, the agent does not use end-to-end encryption for the JMS protocol. See Enabling server identity verification. |
| agentcomm.enabled | false | Web | If not set to true, the agent will be configured to use JMS instead of WebSocket. |
| agentcomm.server.uri | random:(wss://examplehost1.com:7919,wss://examplehost2.com:7919) | Web | For Web agents, the WebSocket connection that is used to communicate with the server. The WebSocket secure URL must have the format wss://host-or-ip:port. Each server must have a unique URL, and every server in a HA cluster must be able to connect to this URL. |
| agentcomm.proxy.uri | random:(http://relay1:20080,http://relay2:20080 | Web | For Web agents, the WebSocket connection that is used to communicate with an agent relay. |
| com.urbancode.air.devilfish.apps.plugin.PluginRuntimeServer.execExecutorScale | 4 | Both | The number of concurrent processes per CPU. For example, if the agent host has 2 CPUs then by default the agent can run ( 2*4 = ) 8 concurrent processes. You can change the setting to another value based on your environment needs. Refer to the technote for more information. |
| com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptLocation | None | Both | The location to which the impersonation scripts are written before they are run on the agent. For example, to write scripts to the folder /opt/ibm/ucd/scripts, use this code:com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptLocation=/opt/ucd/scripts |
| com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptMode | None | Both | This property represents the file permissions to use for the scripts that are written for each impersonation step. For example, to set the file permissions to 0750, which means that the owner can read, write, and execute, and the group can read and execute but not write, use this code:com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptMode=0750 |
| com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPostExecuteAction | None | Both | With this property, you can specify a script to run after each step that uses impersonation. For example: com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPostExecuteAction=/opt/ucd/agent/bin/sudoPostAction.sh |
| com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPreExecuteAction | None | Both | With this property, you can specify a script to run before each step that uses impersonation. For example: com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPreExecuteAction=/opt/ucd/agent/bin/sudoPreAction.sh |
| java.home | None | Both | The location of the installation of Java™ to use. |
| locked/agent.brokerUrl | failover\:(ah3\://hostname\:7918,ah3\://localhost\:7918) | JMS | This property specifies the server or relay to connect to in form of a list of one or more ActiveMQ brokers. The property is added automatically during installation or upgrade based on the locked/agent.jms.remote.host and locked/agent.jms.remote.port properties value. If you specify a value for this property while installing agents in silent mode, the installation process overwrites the value. After the agent is installed, you can update this property. Specify at least one server or one relay. You can also specify a list of servers or a list of relays by separating them with commas. In a simple scenario, the property lists the server that the agent connects to, such as in the following example:locked/agent.brokerUrl=failover\:(ah3\://examplehost.com\:7918). This property cannot refer to load balancers. It can refer to a DNS round robin that resolves to one or more agent relays. Note that to assemble this property correctly, you must also specify hosts in the locked/agent.jms.remote.host property and the ports for those hosts in the locked/agent.jms.remote.port property. Each entry in the locked/agent.jms.remote.host property must have a matching value in the locked/agent.jms.remote.port, even if multiple brokers use the same port. To configure the agent to contact other servers or agent relays in the case of a failover, see Configuring agents for failover. For information on the format of this property, see http://activemq.apache.org/failover-transport-reference.html. |
| locked/agent.home | /opt/urbancode/ucdagent | Both | The installation directory for the agent. |
| locked/agent.http.proxy.host | None | JMS | The host name or IP address of the initial proxy connection, if a proxy is used. This information is used if the agent connects to an agent relay. This property cannot be the host name of a load balancer. If agent.HttpFailoverHandler.disabled is set to anything other than true, the agent can change to a new proxy without updating this property. |
| locked/agent.http.proxy.port | 20080 | JMS | The HTTP proxy port of the agent relay, if used. See the information about the property locked/agent.http.proxy.host. |
| locked/agent.initial.teams | None | Both | Use this option to assign a team to your agent. The value to specify is the team name. To specify the agent's security type for a team, provide the team and security type in the following format: team:type. Separate multiple teams by commas. Trailing spaces are ignored. |
| locked/agent.jms.remote.host | localhost | JMS | The host name or IP address of the server or agent relay to which the agent connects. This property is used in installation and upgrades. When you install an agent silently, you specify this property in the silent installation file. The installation program uses this value to populate the locked/agent.brokerUrl property. This property is not used on an installed agent. Instead, the locked/agent.brokerUrl property specifies the server or relay that the agent connects to. |
| locked/agent.jms.remote.port | 7918 | JMS | For JMS agents, the port that the agent uses to connect to the server or agent relay. This property is used in installation and upgrades. When you install an agent silently, you specify this property in the silent installation file. The installation program uses this value to populate the locked/agent.brokerUrl property. This property is not used on an installed agent. Instead, the locked/agent.brokerUrl property specifies the server or relay that the agent connects to. Note that this property must have the same number of entries as the locked/agent.jms.remote.host property, even if some of the brokers use the same ports. When the agent is installed, the installation program checks that the locked/agent.jms.remote.host and locked/agent.jms.remote.port properties have the same number of entries. If they do not, the installation fails. When the agent is upgraded, if the locked/agent.brokerUrl property is not specified, the upgrade process recreates the locked/agent.brokerUrl property based on the locked/agent.jms.remote.host and locked/agent.jms.remote.port properties. |
| locked/agent.keystore | /opt/urbancode/keys/common.keystore | Both | The path to the agent keystore. |
| locked/agent.keystore.pwd | changeit | Both | The agent keystore password. |
| locked/agent.mutual_auth | false | JMS | Specify true to require mutual authentication between servers and agents. See Configuring mutual authentication. |
| locked/agent.name | ucdagent | Both | The name of the agent. Agent names must be unique. You cannot change an agent name by editing this value. Rename agents in the graphical user interface by clicking the Edit icon that is associated with an agent in the resource tree. |
| locked/agent.service | true | Both | Specify true to configure the agent to run as a service on Windows™. |
| locked/agent.service.name | ucdagent | Both | The name of the agent service. This property applies only when the agent is installed as a service on Windows. |
| locked/agent.service.login | .\\localsystem | Both | The service user account. The account must have the correct permissions to run a service. This property applies only when the agent is installed as a service on Windows. |
| locked/agent.service.password | nopass | Both | The password that is associated with the service user. This property applies only when the agent is installed as a service on Windows. |
| locked/agent.service.autostart | false | Both | Specify true to configure the agent to run automatically when Windows starts. This property applies only when the agent is installed as a service on Windows. |
| verify.server.identity | false | Both | Specify true to configure the agent to reject self-signed certificates when connecting to the server. See Enabling server identity verification. |
| server.token | Both | An authentication token to be used to import z/OS component versions. The token is encrypted after the first time it is used. | |
| server.url | https://0.0.0.0:8443 | Web | The web URL for the HCL™ Launch server. |
