Checking to see if the agent software is current
Unlike the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client, the FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent does not
display a message if the agent does not have the latest version of the software. Instead, the
agent does not start, and logs a message in the System Event log and the AssetCentre
Event log.
To check if the FactoryTalk AssetCentre software on the agent is up to date, start a
FactoryTalk AssetCentre client. The client does not have to be on the same computer as
the agent. Click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
AssetCentre Client > AssetCentre Client. The number of running agent computers is
displayed in the status bar of the client. If one or more agents are not running, and the
client software has been recently updated, then the agent software may need to be updated
as well.
To update the agent software, follow the steps in “Installing the FactoryTalk AssetCentre
Disaster Recovery agent” on page 53. After you start the Install FactoryTalk AssetCentre
Agent program from the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server website, the installer searches
the computer for components that need to be updated, and displays the results in this
window. Components that will be updated are indicated with a computer icon and a
checked box.
