11 Post Installation Tasks

This chapter documents tasks that you may need to perform after the agent installation.

Reconnecting the Agent

There are two ways to reconfigure the Configuration Change Console Agent in order to disconnect it from one Configuration Change Console and re-connect it to another.

The first is to uninstall and re-install the agent using the new Configuration Change Console values. Consult the uninstallation and installation sections pertaining to your platform if you choose to perform a clean install.

The second method requires reconfiguration of the agent manually, which involves editing two configurations files under the agent installation directory structure. In order to make the change in this manner, follow the instructions in the following section.

Reconfiguring the Agent Manually

Follow these steps to reconfigure the agent manually.

1. Stop the agent on each device to be switched to the new Configuration Change Console Server. Use the Devices screen in the User Interface to STOP the agent or On the device where the agent is installed, STOP the agent in one of the following ways:

   1. For Windows. Stop the service.

      One approach is to go to Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Services and Applications --> Services. Double-click on the Oracle Configuration Change Console Agent service and click STOP.

   2. For Unix. Run the following command where agent_install_dir is the directory of your agent installation:

      <agent_install_dir>/bin/arprobe stop

2. Change the configuration. Edit the following lines in the <agent_install_dir>/config/probe.properties file:

   • java.naming.provider.url=t3s://server_address:port

     The variable inputs include the new Configuration Change Console server IP JMS port that was specified during installation.

   • probe.device.id=<PROBE_ID>

     Clear the variable value so the new Configuration Change Console Server can reassign appropriately.

3. Change the baseline value (initiate baseline update). Edit the <agent_install_dir>/config/schedule.xml file and change the following variable value from false to true where agent_install_dir is the directory of your agent installation:

   <Schedule doInitialBaseline="true">

4. Delete (or move to another location) the contents of <agent_install_dir>/log directory

5. Start the agent from the managed server.
