4.3 Managing Agents

This section describes how to work with a standalone agent, a Java EE agent and how to handle load balancing.

4.3.1 Standalone Agent

Managing the standalone agent involves the actions discussed in these sections: ■ Section 4.3.1.1, Configuring the Standalone Agent ■ Section 4.3.1.2, Launching a Standalone Agent ■ Section 4.3.1.3, Stopping an Agent

4.3.1.1 Configuring the Standalone Agent

The odiparams file is a configuration script that contains the parameters for the Oracle Data Integrator standalone agent command line scripts. It contains the repository connection and credential information for starting the standalone agent. It is necessary to have this configuration done before starting a standalone agent. This file is in the agentbin directory of the Oracle Data Integrator installation directory. Note: The agent command line scripts, which are required for performing the tasks described in this section, are only available if you have installed the Oracle Data Integrator Standalone Agent. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Data Integrator for information about how to install the Standalone Agent.
