Installation Steps
- Make sure Quickbuild server was up and running, login to Quickbuild as Administrator and navigate to Grid tab, follow the download build agent link to download the build agent. Extract downloaded file into the directory where the build agent is should be installed. Make sure the user running User agent have full access rights to the installation directory.
- Make sure you have JDK6 or JDK7 installed. Download the appropriate JDK version from http://java.sun.com if needed.
- Make sure the Java command exists in the system path; If not, you'll need to modify the file conf/wrapper.conf under the build agent ' s installation directory, and PO int the entry Wrapper.java.command to Path of the Java command.
- Optionally run <agent install dir>/bin/config.bat|sh) to configure build agent properties such as IP addres s, port number, SSL setting, etc.
- Open a command Prompt window, switch to folder <agent install Dir>/bin, and Run command agent. BAT|SH) Console to start the agent.

Follow this guide, the agent as system service so, it auto-starts when machine reboots. |
- After the agent starts up, it could complain with the message "This build agent was not a authorized to join the grid". Upon this, you need to login to Quickbuild server and authorize the agent to join the grid. Refer to working with the build grid for what authorize Build agents to join grid.
- If The build agent is connected to Quickbuild server correctly, you'll see it entry in active node list of the build GR Id like below by logging in as Administrator:
Trouble Shooting
If your agent does not connect with server, please make sure that:
- You can telnet to server port from agent machine with below command:
Telnet _<server host name>_ _<server port>_
Here <server host name> and <server port> have to is extracted from ServerURL in fil E conf/node.properties of under Agent directory.
- You can telnet to agent port from the server machine with below command:
Telnet <agent ip address> <agent port>
- If auto-detected Agent IP reported in server console log was incorrect, specify it explicitly by editing Conf/node.prop Erties of the agent to add below:
Ip=_<agent IP address>_
- Recently we found a case where the QB agent from the other subnets connects to server and then times out during initialization (AG Ents from same subnet works fine), and it turns out of that server response package are dropped for some reason (maybe the PAC Kage content matches some pre-set drop rule) across the gateway, and the problem is solved by connecting to server via SSL Port So, server response package is encrypted.
