Navigate to the ODI_HOME directory, where ODI is installed and open the agent\bin

sub-directory: ( C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\agent\bin). Navigate to

the odiparams.bat file, right-click this file and select Edit to open it with a text
editor. Leave this editor open; you will run a batch file from a Command window and
return to this text editor to copy the results into the odiparams.bat file.
Explanation: You need to edit the odiparams.bat file to set the repository connection
information for the ODI Agent to use. The password information is stored as an
encrypted string. You will generate the encrypted string in a Command window.

2. Leave the text editor open, and open the Command window (Start -> Run -> cmd) and change
the directory to the ODI_HOME\agent\bin directory:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\agent\bin

To generate the encrypted password string, you will be using the agent command: encode
<password>. Because your password is the word oracle1, enter and execute the following
command in the Command window:
encode oracle1
Keep the Command window open, as you will be returning to it after editing the odiparams.bat file.

Do not change the default value of the ODI_USER and ODI_ENCODED_PASS parameters.
Those parameters were pre-coded during ODI installation.

Create the ODI Physical and Logical Agents

Now that you have generated an encoded password and pasted it into the
odiparams.bat file, you need to create the ODI physical and logical agent
definitions.
1. If not started, start Oracle Data Integrator: Start > Programs > Oracle > Oracle dat
Integrator > ODI Studio. Click Connect To Repository. Select WORKREP1 from the
LoginName drop-down list. For Password, enter: SUNOPSIS. Click OK.

2. Click Topology tab. In Topology, select the Physical Architecture panel. Right-click
the Agents node. Select New Agent.

3. Fill in the following fields:

Name: localagent
Host: Network name or IP address of the machine the agent has been launched on.
Verify that this parameter is set to localhost.
Port: Listening port used by the agent. By default, this port is 20910. Leave the
default value.
Web Application Context: Name of the web application corresponding to the J2EE
agent deployed on an application server. For standalone agents, this field should be
set to oraclediagent.
Set Maximum number of sessions supported by this agent to 250.
Click Save button.

4. Now you have to insert a logical agent in Logical Architecture, and map it to the
newly created Physical agent. Click the LogicalArchitecturetab. Right-clickAgents
and select New LogicalAgent. On the screen that follows, set the Name to

localagent. Set Physical Agents to localagent . From file menu click Save, and then
close the Logical Agent tab.

Starting ODI Agent from the Command Line and Testing Connection
Now that you have created the agent and defined the ODI physical and logical
agents, you can start the agent directly from the command line. You also test
connection to your ODI standalone agent.
1. Switch back to the Commandwindow you left open at the ODI_HOME\agent\bin

directory ( C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\agent\bin). Execute the

agent.bat file using the following command:
agent -NAME=localagent

The agent is now starting. Verify that ODI Agent is successfully started. Minimize the
window Command Prompt agent-NAME=localagent.
Note : This command window should remain open during all labs.

2. In ODI, click Test icon to verify connection of the ODI agent localagent. Click OK.

You successfully created and connected to ODI agent
