Configuring and updating the UpdateAgent

The UpdateAgent is installed automatically on each computer where a recorder component (e. g. Core Service, Ocularis Recorder Manager, DeviceManager, VA-Service etc.) is installed. During the installation process the IP address of the UpdateService has to be provided. After installation, the UpdateAgent is enabled and configured by the installer by default.

If the IP address of the UpdateServer has changed, the UpdateAgent has to be configured manually in the configuration file of the UpdateAgent.

Manually changing the IP settings for the UpdateAgent
  1. Stop the UpdateAgent with the Ocularis Recorder ServiceManager (see Starting and stopping the services).
  2. Open the configuration file "/conf/updateclient.conf.xml" in the installation directory with a text editor.
  3. Set the new IP address of the UpdateService. The IP address is identical to the network address of the client with the UpdateService installed.
  4. Save the settings.
  5. Start the UpdateAgent with the Ocularis Recorder ServiceManger (see Starting and stopping the services).
