Special Agent Installation Scenarios

The following list provides some relevant information about special agent installation or upgrade scenarios:

Agent Procedures on Composite Packages
When the dsmPush script is used to build composite packages consisting of one or more agent base package and language packages, the only procedures available for the composite package in the Software Package Library (displayed in the DSM Explorer under domain, Software, Software Package Library, Software Packages, package, Procedures) are Install for Linux, and Install and Uninstall for Windows.

If you want to run a product-specific action, for example, the software delivery (SD) agent’s Scan SWD procedure, run the procedure from the language-independent SD agent base package in the Software Package Library.
Installation of a Stand-alone Remote Control Agent
A stand-alone remote control (RC) agent cannot be installed using SD functions, because an SD agent must already be present on the agent host. (And a stand-alone RC agent must really be stand-alone; it cannot coexist with any other agent plug-in.)

The only way to install a stand-alone RC agent is either interactively or using the Infrastructure Deployment wizard and specifying the extra parameter /RITRM_RC_AGENT_STANDALONE=1. Therefore, the 'Standalone Agent' RC agent procedure is not relevant for a composite package in the Software Package Library.
