If you are installing the agent on z/OS®, review Security requirements on the IBM z/OS computers.
Ensure that each computer where you are installing an agent has a supported version of the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java developer kit. For more information, see System Requirements for IBM UrbanCode™ Deploy.
If the target computer has an IBM JRE or Java developer kit, update to a supported version of the IBM JRE or Java developer kit.
Agents can also be installed directly from the IBM UrbanCode Deploy web application, see Installing agents remotely.
For simple evaluations, the administrative user can run the agent on the computer where the server is located. Because agent workloads can be resource-intensive, for production environments, do not install agents on the computer where the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server is located. If you plan to run deployments on several target servers, install a separate agent on each one. If, for example, your testing environment consists of three servers, install an agent on each one. Follow the same procedure for each environment the application uses.
Each agent requires the appropriate rights to communicate with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
At a minimum, each agent must have these permissions:
If the agent communicates with IBM UrbanCode Deploy by using an agent relay, you can install the agent from the command line.
