oats agent install–only install the load testing agent

What does the load testing agent do?  Allows you to simulate load from geographic locations.  Therefore I want to simulate load from Perth, Sydney and Broome and need to install the agent on some remote machines.  Forget dragging the entire install (as there is no “cutdown” available to Broome_, I could take it there by camel quicker.

So, I’m going to lean it out.

  • You can remove the WLS and OXE dirs from the expanded zip file which will save you 730 Mb over the network. 
  • Then you can remove the OSE, Server, WLS and XE dirs from the stage/Components dir. saving about 500.
  • Therefore the agent install can be copies in 581MB uncompressed or 519 compressed.

This is much better than 1.8GB over the network.  I also find this faster than running the installer remotely.
