This topic describes how to modify an existing agent by
downloading agent details from an update site using the WebSphere® Sensor Events Administrative Console.
Before you begin
Before downloading agent details from an update site, make
sure that
WebSphere Application Server is
running.
About this task
You can modify an existing agent by downloading agent properties
from an update site. For information about update sites, refer to
Working with update sites.
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere Sensor Events Administrative Console.
The home page displays.
- In the left navigation panel, navigate to . The Agent
Configuration panel displays.
- Click Download Agent. The Download Agent Properties panel
displays.
- Select Update an existing agent.
- In the Agent Name field, click the
drop-down arrow and select an existing agent from the list. Then click Next.
- Select the update site to use for the agent. Click Next.
- Select a feature for the agent. The list of features is
retrieved from the update site. Click Next.
- Accept the license agreement and click Next.
- Confirm your selections and then click Finish to
begin the download process.
Results
During the download process, the status will be displayed
in the
Agent Configuration panel. If errors occur,
you can delete the agent and then recreate it.
Note: During the download
process, an XSL style sheet is used to transform the agent configuration
supplied by the agent's vendor to the format that is required by
WebSphere Sensor Events. The
default XSL file,
IBMRFIDPremisesDefaultMapping.xsl,
is stored in the
ihs_root\bundles\import_mappings directory.
You can override the default XSL transformation by creating a new
XSL file and storing it in the
ihs_root\bundles\import_mappings directory.
The XSL file must have the same name as the update site's feature
with an .xsl extension. For example, if you install the Intermec
BRI Runtime Feature, the XSL file must be named "Intermec BRI Runtime
Feature.xsl". The XSL file is only applied to device agents.
The
input to and output from the XSL file follows the same schema used
in the import XML file. See Sample XML schema and configuration files.
