About handling Precise agents
The CLI provides the ability to stop/start/get status of installed Precise agents in a similar manner to AdminPoint->Agents dialog. There are 2 types of agents CLI
Remote Agent Control: Allows all operations on all agents on all servers, except for starting Precise Listener or Precise FocalPoint agent. It should be executed in the main Precise FocalPoint.
Usage of remote CLI is preferred since it requires less manual action items (enablement of the CLI on the server).
- Local Agent Control: Allows all operations on all agents on a specific server. It must be executed on the agent server.
Remote Agent Control
To use Remote Agent Control CLI, run the following command on the main Precise FocalPoint
Windows infra\bin\psin_cli.bat
-i3-user <user_name>
{-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
-action control-agent
[-proxy-alias <node_alias>]
-product <product_code>
-server <server_name>
-installation <installation_code>
-type <type>
[-instance-name <instance_name>]
UNIX ./infra/bin/psin_cli.sh
-i3-user <user_name>
{-i3-encrypted-password <encrypted_password> | -i3-clear-password <clear_password>}
-action control-agent
[-proxy-alias <node_alias>]
-product <product_code>
-server <server_name>
-installation <installation_code>
-type <type>
[-instance-name <instance_name>]
