To access the Agent Update application, click the Agent Update button in the I-Management Console screen Applications panel. The Agent Update screen then displays.

Note

When you log in to I-Management Console, this is the default display.



In addition to the Menu Bar and Tool Bar, the Agent Update screen is comprised of three regions:

Agent Tree

The Agent tree section of the Agent Update screen identifies all of the agents and groups assigned to the current user.
 


 

Each agent in the Agent tree is identified by one of the following icons:
 

Agent has been polled by UEC. This icon displays even if the Agent currently, for whatever reason, cannot be polled by UEC.

Agent has not been polled by UEC: UEC may be unable to poll the Agent, or the Agent was defined to the Broker being polled prior to version 4.1.0.


When you click on an agent in the Agent tree, the Configuration Tree is populated with all configurations installed on that agent.

Note

Groups and agents, and the users to which they are assigned, are created in the I-Administrator utility.

Configuration Tree

The Configuration tree section of the Agent Update screen identifies all of the Universal Agent or Universal Data Mover components installed on the Agent currently selected in the Agent Tree.



The following configuration groups can appear in the Configuration tree:

  • Universal Command
  • Universal Data Mover
  • Universal Event Monitor
  • Universal Infrastructure
  • Universal Utilities

When you click on a configuration in the Configuration tree, the #Configuration Options Table is populated with all of the options, and their values, included in that configuration.

 

Configuration Options Table

The Configuration Options table of the Agent Update screen identifies all of the options included in the configuration currently selected in the Configuration Tree.



The Configuration Options table consists of four columns:

  1. Check box that lets you select an option to modify.
  2. Option: Name of each option whose value can be changed.
  3. Value: Field that lets you create or modify an option value.
    Depending on the option, Value has the following form:
    • Text field
    • Drop-down list
    • Custom field (for example, the SSL/TLS Cipher List fields)
  4. Actual: Current value of each option.

Navigating in the Configuration Options Table

After selecting a option in the Configuration Options table, you can navigate in the table and modify values solely from the keyboard by using the following keys:
 

Space Bar

Toggles the Commit check box (inserts / removes check mark).

Down Arrow

Moves to the next option.

Up Arrow

Moves to the previous option.

Esc

Exits the edit mode.

Enter

Enters the edit mode.

Rules for Creating and Modifying Configuration Values

The following rules apply for creating and modifying configuration values in the Configuration Options table:

  • Configuration values can contain spaces and/or tabs, but if they do, they must be enclosed in single ( ' ) or double ( " ) quotation marks. Repeat the enclosing characters to include them as part of the value.
  • Configuration values that are not pre-defined, such as directory names and file names, are case sensitive.
