Changes

After you save a modified agents rule, changes take effect only after the Agent Manager master agent updates the agent schedule instances. By default, the Agent Manager checks for new and updated agents rules (and manually updated agent schedules) every 10 minutes.

Agents are not authenticated requestors

Agents are not full, authenticated requestors. As a result:

Starting and stopping agents

Normally, all agents start each time you start your PRPC system. Agents running on a specific node start as that node starts. For testing, or when otherwise necessary, you can use the System Management application to monitor or control agents:

  1. Start the System Management application.
  2. Select a node.
  3. Select the Agent Management menu item.
  4. Click a single radio button to identify the Thread of an agent. (Each agent activity executes in a separate thread.)
  5. Use the buttons at the top of the page to start the agent, stop the agent, or pause agent processing. You can affect only the selected activity (one row of the form) or all activities.
