Extend Compact Agents to AIX

Managing Agents and keeping them up-to-date is hard when requirements change (like switch from Java 8 to 11).

So central management of Java versions for Agents without impacting Java installations used by other applications is an essential feature available for Linux/Windows and MacOS clients. (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/urbancode-deploy/7.3.0?topic=agents-compact)

Managing a large installation of AIX agents I'd like to ask for 'Compact Agents' support extended to AIX (and possibly all other platforms supported by UCD).

    Hi All, we are working to request access to an AIX host we can use for development of this feature to support it. We will keep you informed.
