Removing and reinstalling agents as Windows services

If you installed an agent as a Windows™ service, you can remove and reinstall the service.

Install an agent as a Windows service. See Installing agents from the command line.
  1. Open a command prompt as an administrator.
  2. Go to the C:\agent_install\bin\service folder, where agent_install is the installed agent location.
  3. Remove the service by running the following command:
    _agent.cmd remove service_name
    Use the name of the service for service_name. To find the service name, open the services view and find the entry that starts with IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy Agent. The service name is in parentheses in this entry.
  4. Reinstall the service by running the following command:
    _agent.cmd install service_name
    Note: While re-installing an agent, the latest PATH variable values are used.
