Creating a Logical Agent

Setting-up the Topology 4-15

4.3.1.2 Launching a Standalone Agent

The standalone agent is able to execute scenarios on predefined schedules or on demand. To launch a standalone agent: 1. Change directory to the agentbin directory of the Oracle Data Integrator Agent. 2. Enter the following command to start the agent. ■ On UNIX system: .agent.sh ■ On Windows system: agent.bat The agent is then launched as listener. The agent can take the optional parameters listed in Table 4–2 . Agent Configuration Parameters Table 4–2 lists the different parameters that allow the agent to be configured. The parameters are prefixed by the - character and the possible values are preceded by the = character. When entering the command, consider the operating system specific syntax of the delimiters. For example, on UNIX, the following command ODI_CONNECTION_RETRY_COUNT The number of retries to re-establish the connection in the event of a repository connection failures. Default is 0. No retry is performed when the default value is not modified by the user. Note that the RETRY parameters ODI_CONNECTION_RETRY_ COUNT and ODI_CONNECTION_RETRY_DELAY allow the agent to continue sessions if the repository falls down and is made available shortly after. These parameters enable high availability HA recovery for a repository residing on an Oracle RAC database. ODI_CONNECTION_RETRY_DELAY Time in milliseconds between repository connection retries. Default is 7000. Table 4–2 Agent Configuration Parameters Parameters Description -PORT=port Port on which the agent is listening. Default value is 20910. This port should exactly match the port specified in the physical agent definition in the topology. -NAME=agent name This is the name of the physical agent used. This name should match the name of the physical agent as defined in the topology. If this parameter is not specified, the agent starts with the default name OracleDIAgent. -JMXPORT=jmx_port JMX agent port number. The agent listens on this port for JMX request to provide its metrics. Default value is the listening port + 1000. For example, if port=20910 then jmx_ port=21910. Table 4–1 Cont.
