The Agent Deployment and Upgrade Toolkit was designed to automate the installation and upgrade of agents. The current method for agent deployment is a manual process so this solution reduces the time, resources, and costs involved. The toolkit works directly with the Automation Engine. This means that the customer can execute objects within the User Interface to initiate the installation/upgrade, and then the Automation Engine will communicate with the server to deploy the agent.

Automic recommends to involve its Professional Services team to ensure the successful use of the toolkit. Please contact your Account Manager.

The Agent Deployment and Upgrade Toolkit is offered as no-charge community solution. The solution is distributed “AS IS” and without any express or implied warranty. Automic makes no representations that the solution (i) will meet Customer's requirements, (ii) will operate when used with other hardware, software, systems or data not provided or expressly approved by Automic, (iii) will operate uninterrupted or error-free, (iv) will offer Customer any network security protection or that (v) errors of an immaterial nature will be corrected. The solution is completely end-user customizable and is therefore provided without support or maintenance. Support can be requested from Automic Consulting, as additional effort. On demand and after talking to Automic, small changes may be possible as well. All rights for the solution and any changes/extensions remain the sole property of Automic.
