Configuring a dynamic agent
How to configure a dynamic agent.
About this task
The dynamic agent installation process automatically adds the workstation definition to the database and registers the workstation definition to the dynamic workload broker installed on the master domain manager or dynamic domain manager that you chose during the installation process.
Dynamic agents can be organized in pools to help organize your
environment based on the availability of workstations and on the requirements of the jobs that need
to be run. You can create a pool, adding dynamic agents to a workstation definition of type pool,
or, you can automatically register agents to pools through a different process. See Automatically register agents to pools for more details.
See the topic about automatically registering agents to a pool in the Planning and Installation Guide.
- If enAddWorkstation is set to no:
- Run JnextPlan with the -for 0000 option
to add the dynamic agent workstation definition to the plan and to
send the Symphony file to it. For more information about workstation
definitions, see User's Guide and Reference.Note: To carry forward completed and not completed job stream instances, ensure that the carryforward global option is set to all or run JnextPlan -for 0000 also with the -noremove option.
- Change the workstation limit to allow jobs to run on the workstation.
For example, set the number of jobs that can run concurrently on the
workstation to 10:
conman "limit DA235007_00;10"
- Run JnextPlan with the -for 0000 option
to add the dynamic agent workstation definition to the plan and to
send the Symphony file to it. For more information about workstation
definitions, see User's Guide and Reference.
- If enAddWorkstation is set to yes:
The workstation definition is automatically added to the plan after it is defined in the database by the installation process. The workstationLimit global option specifies the dynamic agent workstation limit value that the dynamic agent workstation assumes after the workstation is added to the plan.
For more information about how to modify the enAddWorkstation and workstationLimit global option settings, see Global options - detailed description.
