Using the /agent argument to start remote suites

I'm running Ranorex 8.1.2+git.31d95a93

I have an agent on a remote machine (hou-ranorex10). When I use the remote tab, I connect to the remote system and can start my test suite without problems.

I need to schedule unattended operation. One method I've tried is to use the command line "Scripts.exe /agent:<agentname> method decribed in the Ranorex documentation on my development system.

When I run the Scripts.exe file like so: "Scripts /agent:hou-ranorex10"

All that happens is that the Scripts start running on my development system, NOT the remote hou-ranorex10 system. In fact, no command line argument I've tried thus far as worked other than scripts /?, which lists no option for the agent.

Hi ian807,

The /agent command line feature was add in Ranorex 8.3 (release notes). You will need to upgrade to Ranorex 8.3 or newer in order to take advantage of this feature.

I hope this clarifies why it does not work for you!

Cheers,
Ned
