Updating DataCloud Agent
After you have installed Actian DataCloud Agent, you can use the Integration Manager console to perform updates at any time.
Tip: The Agent license automatically updates weekly. The Agent service and engine do not automatically update.
When to Update
The DataCloud Agent uses a local version of the execution engine to run integrations transmitted from your DataCloud account.
If you have designed your integration using the current version of Design Studio but your Agent is still using an older version of the engine, this could cause compatibility issues when it comes time for your integration to run on the Agent.
Best Practice —
Update your Agent and engine whenever you schedule a newly deployed integration to run using the Agent.
Updating the Agent
Before you begin the update process, make sure the computer running the Agent is connected to a constant power source (not running on battery power in the case of a laptop). If the computer loses power or crashes during the update process, reinstall the agent manually. See
Agent Installation.
To update the Agent service, engine, and license
1. Log in to the Integration Manager console.
2. Go to the Agents page.
3. Locate your agent in the table.
4. Ensure the version (listed in the Version column) is 3.0.0 or higher.
5. Click the Actions drop-down menu and then select the appropriate option:
• Update Agent: Updates the Agent service and execution engine.
• Update Engine: Updates the execution engine used by the Agent for running jobs.
• Update License: Updates the engine license to the latest available for your account.
Note: You might need to restart the Agent service after the update. See
Managing the Agent.
