Registering and Authenticating a Sybase Control Center Agent

Register and authenticate the Sybase Control Center agent for a managed server.

The Sybase Control Center Agent for Event Steam Processor (or SCC agent) runs on the same host as the ESP node and enables Sybase Control Center for Event Stream Processor (which can be installed remotely) to manage the ESP node. The SCC agent is installed automatically as part of the Sybase ESP Server.

To perform certain administrative tasks, including starting a Sybase ESP node, you must register and authenticate the node’s SCC agent.

  1. In the Perspective Resources view, select a resource.
  2. From the application menu bar, select View > Open > Administration Console.
  3. In the left pane of the Administration Console, select ESP Nodes.
  4. In the right pane of the Administration Console, select an ESP node, click the arrow and select Register Agent.
  5. (Optional) Set the node configuration file path, cluster log configuration file path, and the startup folder path.
    If you set these parameters, provide them as fully-qualified, absolute paths and make sure they do not reference any environment variables. Also, if provided, the node configuration file must match the RPC port defined for the node in SCC.
    If you do not provide values for these fields, the SCC agent attempts to discover the correct node configuration file by iterating over all subfolders under $ESP_HOME/cluster/nodes and looking for ".xml". It derives the other two parameters from this.
  6. Enter the SCC agent port (the default port is 9999) and click OK.
    The SCC agent host name is automatically set as the ESP node's host name and cannot be changed.
  7. In the Administration Console, select the same ESP node, click the arrow, and select Authenticate Agent.
  8. Enter the Sybase Control Center agent user (the default is uafadmin) and password.

For instructions on changing the password for the SCC agent’s default uafadmin account, see the topic on setting passwords in the Sybase Control Center Installation Guide.
