To install the BMC Synthetic Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent for monitoring of synthetic transactions, you can use a silent (unattended) installation, as described in this topic, or an installation wizard.
The following topics describe how to set up and run a silent installation:
(Version 2.6.10) You can run the installation utility more than once to install more than one TEA Agent on a single computer. Each agent must have a unique name and a separate installation directory.
Warning
The Maintenance Tool enables you to encrypted a password. You must use encrypted passwords when you define properties for the silent installation so that the passwords are not exposed in the TEAAgent-silent-option.txt file.
You can run the Maintenance Tool in a GUI or from the command line.
(Version 2.6.10) If you want to install more than one TEA Agent on the same computer, you must run the installation more than once. Each run must have a unique tea_service_name
and a separate installLocation
directory.
installLocation
parameter. The default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\BMCTEAAgent.If you are installing a single TEA Agent, enter a name for the tea_service_name
.
If you use an installation deployment tool to deploy the synthetic TEA Agents over several computers, each TEA Agent name must be unique in the synthetic transaction monitoring system. Ignore the tea_service_name
parameter and set the auto_generated_tea_service_name
parameter to true
to automatically generate a unique name for each agent.
Enter or edit the values for the following properties. For a description of the properties, see Performing the TEA Agent installation.
Ensure that all passwords are encrypted, as described above.
-J agent_group_name= -J archive_password= -J archive_confirm_password= -J apm_console_host_name= -J apm_console_port=443 -J apm_console_user_name= -J apm_console_password=
From the directory where the installer file is stored, open a command prompt and run the silent installation using the following command:
setup.exe -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="<filePath>\TEAAgent-silent-option.txt"
The <filePath> is the full location of the options file.
Verify the TEA Agent installation After you install the BMC Transaction Execution Adapter Agent, the service automatically starts and the Agent is automatically registered by the BMC Application Management Console. The Agent is ready to receive configuration information. Performing the TEA Agent installation silentlyWhere to go from here
