Concept and installation

OIBus Agent is a tool used to embed through HTTP some protocol specific queries. For now, ODBC and OPCHDA are supported.

OIBus can request the agent through its South connectors ODBC and OPCHDA.

Setup

Unzip the archive, from which you will get three files:

• OIBusAgent.exe: binary used to run the agent
• install-agent.bat: script used to install the agent as a Windows service
• uninstall-agent.bat: script used to uninstall the service

Installation

By default, running install-agent.bat install the agent as a service with the name OIBusAgent and will listen to port 2224:

install-agent.bat

But it is also possible to specify a name and a port through the command line:

install-agent.bat -n="My OIBus Agent" -p=2225

Uninstalling

If the agent has been set up with default values, running the uninstallation script is enough:

uninstall-agent.bat

If the agent has been installed with a specific name, you must specify its name:

uninstall-agent.bat -n="My OIBus Agent"

Running the agent

If you just want to run the agent without using the service manager, simply run the following command in a terminal:

OIBusAgent.exe

That will run the OIBus agent on its default HTTP port 2224. You can specify another port with:

OIBusAgent.exe -p 2225
