IBM® UrbanCode Deploy runs
on Windows and UNIX systems. Following some guidelines can
improve the performance of the server and agents.
For complete system requirements for the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
agent, and related systems, see the following page: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038801
For best performance, follow these guidelines:
- Except when evaluating IBM UrbanCode Deploy,
do not install an agent on the same system as the server.
- When possible, install the server as a dedicated user account.
However, IBM UrbanCode Deploy runs
well as a root user (or local system user on Windows), and running this way is the easiest
method to avoid permission errors.
- Install the agent as dedicated system account. Ideally, the account
should be dedicated to IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
Because IBM UrbanCode Deploy agents
run remote commands, it is best to create a user specifically for
the agent and grant this user only the appropriate privileges.
- Install only one agent per system. Running more than one agent
on the same system can result in significant performance reduction,
especially when the agents are running at the same time.
