Note:
(1) Make sure that Performance Center Agent is running by "Local System Account" (select the radio button as shown below after going to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Right Click on “Performance Center Agent” -> Click on “Log On” and then stop/start the service again from there).
(2) Make sure that the Performance Center Agent runs as Service only, so that once you logout of the Load generator machine, the LoadRunner Agent should still continue running. Also, it should be set to run as “Automatic”, so that when Load Generator machine goes down, then the Performance Center Agent should run automatically, once the machine is up. This can be verified by checking “Performance Center Agent Service” in Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. It also shows whether the Agent Service is started/running. An alternative way to see the Service is through right click on My Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services.
(3) The Performance Center Agent service must be running in Controller machine
too. Go to Controller machine and perform above step (e) to make sure that the
agent is running.
(4) When the Performance Center Agent Service starts as process on Controller
machine, an icon of Performance Center Agent will show up in Tray bar. To see
the Agent Run log, you can right click this icon and click “View Agent log”.
2. Setup on Controller machine:
a. Go to controller machine and launch the controller for a script.
b. Add a new Load Generator (Click Generators -> Add). Provide name as the local machine key name provided in the Agent Configuration in the Load Generator machine (for example: uap058_ofw).
c. Highlight the agent and click on Details and go to the Firewall tab. You will see the following ‘Load Generator Information’ window:
