Update machine to non user agent #3951

jmuirhead ·

How do I configure an agent so that it is no longer a user-agent, but a 'real' node? I first connected the agent to QB as a user agent. Now I don't want it to be a user agent, but a regular node.

I have removed the user agent software and replaced it with the regular buildagent.tar.gz. And installed as a service. Every time I try to start the service I get a 'Please config the user agent first by running bin/config.(bat|sh).' error. I don't want the agent to be a user agent.

How does QB tell if the agent is a user-agent or not?

Platform is Ubuntu 16.04

It checks the token property in "conf/node.properties". If the token is absent or contains ":", QB thinks it is an user agent. To switch an user agent to build agent, just replace the token with a faked build agent token, for instance:
token=deffcd4c-43aa-4095-a9ae-66b1b89a4b13
