To Install the Application Server 8.2/9.0/9.1 Agent

1. Change to the following directory:

   PolicyAgent-base/bin

   This directory contains the agentadmin program, which is used to install a J2EE agent and for performing other tasks. For more information on the agentadmin program, see Role of the agentadmin Program in a J2EE Agent for Policy Agent 2.2.

2. Issue the following command:

   ./agentadmin --install

3. (Conditional) If you receive license agreement information, accept or reject the agreement prompts. If you reject any portion of the agreement, the program will end.

   The license agreement is displayed only during the first run of the agentadmin program.

4. After you accept the license agreement (if necessary), provide the information requested by the installation program (or accept the default values).

   The prompts are shown in the Example of Installation Program Interaction for the Application Server 8.2/9.0/9.1 Agent.

   Your answers to prompts can differ from this example depending upon your specific deployment. In the example, most of the defaults have been accepted. This example is provided for your reference and does not necessarily indicate the precise information you should enter.
