The OpenEdge Command Center agent can be downloaded and installed independently of OpenEdge. After installing OpenEdge, use the OpenEdge Command Center agent installer to install and configure an agent on the local system to manage your OpenEdge system resources.

The OpenEdge Command Center agents are supported only on 64-bit platforms. They are supported on all operating systems that support OpenEdge 12.2 and later releases, including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and AIX, except for Solaris.

Prerequisites

  • Before you install the OpenEdge Command Center agent on a single system or network, make sure that your environment meets the hardware and software requirements described in the OpenEdge Platform and Product Availability Guide on the Progress Content Portal. You can also refer to this document for information on the compatibility of OpenEdge Command Center with OpenEdge releases.

  • Ensure that the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 17.0.3 or later (within the 17.x major version) is installed on your system.

  • Ensure that you have administrator privileges on the system where you are installing the OpenEdge Command Center agent.

Note:
  • Progress recommends that you uninstall earlier versions of the OpenEdge Command Center agent before installing version 2.0. Migration from OpenEdge Command Center 1.3 to 2.0 is not supported.
  • If you encounter any issues during installation or configuration, see Troubleshoot installation and configuration issues for OpenEdge Command Center server and agent.
  • When you are providing an installation path during the installation and configuration of the agent, make sure that it does not include any of the following characters:
    * ? < > | ^ & ; ! $ `
    Also, if the path contains percent‑encoded characters (such as %20), verify that they are valid. The installer rejects paths with prohibited characters or invalid encoding.
  • When running the installer (.bin) from a directory other than its location, use the absolute path to the file instead of a relative path to avoid any installation errors.
