To install OpenEdge Command Center agent, download the software image from the Progress Software Download Center and launch the installation program. The installation program is available for the Linux, AIX, and Windows platforms.
Note: You must have administrator privileges on system to install the OpenEdge Command Center agent.

To install an agent, complete the following steps:

  1. From a command window, change to the directory that contains the agent installation file. The name of the installation file is platform-dependent, as follows:
    Platform Installer file name

    Windows

    PROGRESS_OECC_AGENT_2.x.x_WIN_64.exe

    Linux

    PROGRESS_OECC_AGENT_2.x.x_LNX_64.bin

    AIX

    PROGRESS_OECC_AGENT_2.x.x_AIX_64.bin
  2. Close all other applications before beginning the installation process. Other applications or tasks might interfere with the installation or use files that OpenEdge Command Center agent needs to complete the installation.
  3. Change to the directory that contains the installer file.
  4. Run the installer file. For example: 
    ./PROGRESS_OECC_AGENT_2.x.x_WIN_64.exe

    By default, the installer runs in graphical mode. However, if you are running the installation on a system that does not support graphical mode, then the installation runs in console mode. The installer prompts you to make installation choices and records them after the installation is complete.

  5. Read the information on the Introduction page, verify that all the other applications are closed, and click Next.
  6. On the Install Configurations page, enter the following information:
    1. In Install Directory, you can optionally specify a non-default directory in which you want to install the agent. The default installation location for the Linux platform is /usr/oecc/agent, and that for the Windows platform is C:\Progress\OECC\Agent.
    2. Keep the Install Agent as a Service checkbox selected, to install and automatically launch the agent as a service.
    3. In Java Home Directory, specify the directory where you installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your system. The directory must match the one that is defined as the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
    4. Click Next.
  7. On the Server Connection page, you can optionally enter the following information:
    1. In OECC Server Host Name, specify the name of the host system on which the OpenEdge Command Center server is running. It default value is localhost.
    2. In OECC Server Management Port, specify the management port value of the server. Its default value is 8001.
      Note: Optionally, you can specify it after installation by manually updating the serverInfo.json file. However, if you leave this field blank, a connection will not be established between the OpenEdge Command Center agent and server.
    3. Keep the Do not validate hostname in TLS connection (nohostverify) checkbox selected, to skip the validation of host name when establishing a connection between the OpenEdge Command Center server and OpenEdge Command Center agent. If you clear this checkbox, the nohostverify property performs host validation, which fails with default certificates, causing failure in connecting the OpenEdge Command Center server with the OpenEdge Command Center agent.
    4. Click Next.
  8. On the OpenEdge Installation page, you can optionally browse to an OpenEdge installation directory and select the instance you want to map to the agent. If an existing OpenEdge installation is detected, it is automatically populated. After you make your selection or skip this step, click Next.
    Note: You can add only one OpenEdge installation from this page. If you want to add multiple installations, then add their respective paths to the conf/installationsInfo.json file. For more information about the file, see OpenEdge Installation configuration file.
  9. On the Preview page, review the following information you have provided before completing the installation and click Install.
    • Product Name—Progress OpenEdge Command Center Agent.
    • Install Directory—Path where the OpenEdge Command Center agent will be installed.
    • Java Home Directory—Location where JDK is installed on your system.
