IBM UrbanCode Deploy - Where do your agents come from ?

I had a bit of a brain fade today, trying to work out from where to download the Agent code for IBM UrbanCode Deploy (UCD).

I'm using the latest UCD 6.2.6, and have the server up-and-running.

Now I want to pop an agent onto a target box ….

IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.2.6 Multiplatform Multilingual eAssembly (CJ2BYML)

which includes: -

IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.2.6 Multiplatform Multilingual (CNM8JML )

which I'd used to install the UCD Server: -

and this: -

IBM UrbanCode Cloud Agent Packages 6.2.6 Multiplatform Multilingual (CNM8PML )

Thankfully, the IBM Knowledge Centre came to my rescue: -

I grabbed the URL of the Agent: -


and pulled this onto the box: -


and installed the agent: -

/tmp/ibm-ucd-agent-install/install-agent.sh 

into: -

/opt/ibm/UCD/agent/

so that's all good then :-)
