Applicare provide the feature to push updates to agent side, through applicare controller. Below are the details

  1. Run build_update_agent.bat/sh file from applicare home directory on Applicare controller machine, which would create agent_update.jar file in applicare home folder.
  2. In applicare user interface Menu -> Update Applicare Agents, select the agent/app server(s) to push the update jar to the agent side.
  3. Click on Update agent button.
  4. The agent_update.jar file would be transferred in background.
  5. Once the agent_update.jar file is transferred in {Arcturus_Home}/tmp/agent/downloads, shutdown the agent/app server and run the {Arcturus_Home}/scripts/updateAgent.cmd/sh file on agent side
  6. After running the updateAgent.cmd/sh script file by manually, the new updates are extracted.
  7. Than start the agent/app server.
  8. In case of Applicare agent deployed on app server - re deploy the applcare_agent.war file to the server from {Arcturus_Home}/agent/{respective_server} directory.

Note:

1. If you have chosen the deployment directory as {Arcturus_Home}/agent/{respective_server} with auto deploy feature for Weblogic and WebSphere server, you don't want to redeploy the applicare_agent.war file.

2. For Standalone agent the applicare_agent.war file would redeploy, when you run the updateAgent.cmd/sh script itself, so you don't want to redeploy the applicare_agent.war file for Standalone agent also.
