Running DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent on Microsoft Windows

On computers running Microsoft Windows, the agent is typically installed and run as a Windows service.

Procedure

  1. To verify that the agent service is installed, open the Services applet in Control Panel by clicking Start > (All) Programs > Administrative Tools > Services. The Windows service name displayed is DevOps Test API Agent.
  2. To install or remove the Windows service manually, use Installation Manager.
  3. To start or stop the Windows service, you have three options:
    1. Click Start > Start Agent or Start > Stop Agent.
    2. Using the Services applet in Control Panel, right-click DevOps Test API Agent, and then click Start or Stop on the pop-up menu.
    3. Using a command prompt with administrative privileges, use the following net commands to start or stop the agent service:
      • net start OneTestAPIAgent
      • net stop OneTestAPIAgent
    Note: For some locales, if you run the agent in the command window and observe that the message text is not correctly displayed, use the chcp command. For example: run the chcp 1251 command to view the messages in Russian language. For more information on the codes, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page
