Default operating systems
Use the Default Operating Systems page to change the operating systems for which your agent is built.
Procedure
- To open the Default Operating Systems page, click Default Operating Systems in the Agent Content section of the Agent Information page or the Default Operating Systems node in the Outline View.
- In the Default Operating Systems page,
select the operating systems that your agent is to support..
When you generate an installation package for the agent, Agent Builder adds files for the selected operating systems to the package. Data sources that you add to your agent that are not specific to the Windows operating system are available on any of the selected operating systems. The operating systems on which any specific data source is available can be changed from this default selection. To change the Operating Systems available for a specific data source, use the Operating Systems pane of the Data Source Definition page. If default operating systems are not selected, operating systems must be selected for each specific data source on the Data Source Definition page.
Important: If you want to run a full test of the agent inside Agent Builder (for instructions, see Full agent testing), ensure that:- If you are running Agent Builder on Windows or AIX®, the 32-bit version of the operating system is installed.
- If you are running Agent Builder on Linux, the 64-bit version of the operating system is installed.
Important: In some rare cases, you might need to install your agent on a 64-bit system where only a 32-bit operating system agent is installed. In this case, ensure that the 64-but version of the operating system is not selected and the 32-bit version is selected.
