PH02082: AGENT INSTALLATION DOCUMENTATION NEEDS UPDATE

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• There is some old documentation around agent installation that
  needs to be updated to reflect the current behavior.
  
  1. The agent installer package was renamed from
  ibm-ucd-agent-install to ucd-agent-install but the docs still
  reference ibm-ucd-agent-install. Users with scripts that depend
  on this name will need to update them.
  
  2. in our example.agent.install.properties script, we have the
  following:
  
  locked/agent.service.login=.\localsystem
  
  However, special characters such as \ need to be escaped, so the
  example will not work properly. The special characters are \ : =
  (excluding the one equals sign that all properties have). We
  should document these special characters and update the example
  to:
  
  locked/agent.service.login=.\\localsystem
