SETUP WINDOWS AGENT IN JENKINS

[@LomadelOrtoOK]

But how to set the service with de agent?

[@dmitrysbor]

Good. Couple of questions: this Jenkins Agent run as a Windows service or normal application? How can we automate it if if normal application?

[@RanjitSwain]

Hi, In this video i have shown as normal application running it in the command prompt. But, you can make this agent to run automatically by adding it in the windows service.

@@RanjitSwainthankhs. I need run Jenkins as normal app, otherwise Windows blocks start my UI application under test. But in such case it could be restarted in case of server connection problems. I put Jenkings agent to Autorun, but not sure it rather resilent solution.

Hi Ranjit. I tried the same but the agent.jar file is not downloading. And iam getting the error jnable to find agent.jar file in cmd

[@RanjitSwain]

Hi @arvindbalaji6504, make sure you are using correct Jenkins ip address. Can you verify the ip address you are using to download is same as the Jenkins?

Helo Ranjit! Thanks for the video it's really helpful. Unfortunately I have an issue. If I close the cmd window on the agent side after it's connected to the server, it immediately goes to offline. Is this an expected behavior? Does this happen, because it's not running as a service?

[@RanjitSwain]

Hi, yes the agent will be terminated as soon as we close the cmd window where it was executed until unless we run it as a service. To make it to run permanently you must run this as a service.

[@guddytech1454]

Create new oracle account yes or no

[@RanjitSwain]

Yes, if you are installing Java for yourself. If you are doing the setup for company then you don’t need to.. your organisation would provide

[@ShaharShamli]

Hi, but It not permanent. I need to run it manually every time the server is restarting

[@RanjitSwain]

Hi, you need to setup this in windows service so that it can run even after reboot. Watch this video 👇 Running Jenkins Agent as a service in Windows machine kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn3GpZ-KoJt_ptU
