The agentparm.txt File

When you install the agent, the installation program adds commonly configured agent parameters to the agentparm.txt file located in the agent installation directory. Other agent parameters exist that you must manually add to the agentparm.txt file. Also, changes required after the install are made directly to the agentparm.txt file.

Note: For any configuration changes to take effect, always stop and start the agent. For some agent parameters, such as the agent name and communication parameters, configure the parameters on the CA WA CA 7 Edition task.

To update or add parameters in the agentparm.txt file

  1. Change to the agent installation directory.
  2. Stop the agent.
  3. Make a backup/copy of agentparm.txt file.
  4. Open the agentparm.txt file.
  5. Edit the parameters to make the required changes.
  6. Save and close the agentparm.txt file.
  7. Start the agent.
