Managing HCL UnO agent using scripts in Windows operating systems

When you configure the agent for the first time, the process creates multiple scripts that can be used to manage HCL UnO agent afterward. You can run each script to accomplish specific results.

Before you begin

You must have configured the agent to create the scripts. For more information, see Installing HCL UnO agent.
Navigate to the bin folder under the --dataDir, where all the scripts to manage the agent are available.

About this task

When you configure the agent for the first time, the following scripts are created:

start.ps1: Starts the agent. After the agent has started, the agent.pid file that contains the process ID of the running agent is created.
stop.ps1: Stops the running instance of the agent, if any. The agent stops after all the tasks are completed. You can also use the -f option with the script to forcefully stop the agent, although it is not recommended.
upgrade.ps1: Updates the agent to the specified version. The agent is updated to a new version with zero downtime.
Note: You must know the path to the new agent jar file.
data-gather: Gathers all the data associated to the agent in a zip file.

You can run these scripts using the command prompt to ensure automation of tasks and consistency in operations.

Procedure

Open the command prompt.
Type the name of any script, and then press Enter.
Example:
```
start.ps1
```
Important: Specify the path to the new agent jar file also if you want to use the upgrade script to update the agent to a new version.
For example,
```
upgrade.ps1 [path to the new agent jar file]
```

Results

You have successfully run the required command.
