Command-Line Tools

Some jobs are best done from a command line: setting a credential, checking a configuration, preparing evidence for a security review, or running a procedure the same way every time. VirtualForge has two command-line programs, for two different places:

Program	Runs on	Does	Who uses it
vf-agent	The Seeq agent host	Manages the credentials EEI connectors use to sign in to your source systems; more jobs to follow	You. It comes with EEI connectors for Seeq, starting with ABB Knowledge Manager
vf	EEI's systems	Operates the platform: accounts, entitlements and licenses, releases, deployment records, data services	EEI. It is not installed at your site

vf-agent is part of the products: it is installed with them, and is not sold, licensed or installed separately. vf is EEI's own tool; its page explains what it is and where it is going, so you know what EEI is running on your behalf.

Every vf-agent command works the same way: it shows what it will change, asks before removing or replacing anything, never shows a password, and ends with a PASS/FAIL summary. vf follows the same habits where it matters most, in licensing.
