Configuring agents to support token licensing

In versions 8.5.0.2 and later, if you install or upgrade the agent software and select the Agent mode option to enable support for token licensing, you must configure the agent to point to a single domain before the agent can start.

About this task

You can modify an agent configuration by editing the Agent.conf XML file.

For more information about agent mode licensing, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27039621.

Procedure

Open the Agent.conf file, which is in the following directory:
- product-installation-directory\config
- product-installation-directory/config

Edit the domains> section to point to a single domain and environment name.

For example:

domains>
    <domain name="testDomain">
        <environment name="testEnvironment">
    </domain>
</domains>

Save and close the file.
Start the agent:
- Running Microsoft™ Windows™ agents
- Running Unix-like system agents

Results

The agent is started.
