Downloading the software

Before you can begin installing, you have to download the required software.

Java JDK

Download the OpenJDK version 11 from Adoptium. You can download the the solfware at the vendor's specific site.
Go to the Adoptium Website.

If you are installing via the Windows installer, a compatible Java version is packaged with the installer. Use this version to be sure you do not have problems with other installed Java versions.

ConnectAgent

Your ConnectAgent can be downloaded from the Deploy website. Here you can preconfigure your ConnectAgent and download it with a preconfigured configuration to ease your installation. To download the agent follow the next steps.

  • Login at the ConnectPlaza website with a Developer or End User account.

  • If you login with a Developer account, choose the Deploy application. You will enter a selection screen where you can select the agent you want to install.

  • Double click on the agent you want to install. Wait until the application is finished trying to connect to the agent. This is the default behaviour. It will probably not find any agent. You will end up with the next screen.

 

 

  • Download the ConnectAgent of your choice

  • If you choose Generate prebuild zip, you must enter the configuration for your ConnectAgent. For the Windows Installer this will be done during the install procedure itself.

 

  • Fill in your preferred settings
