1.2.5 Agent management control
Agent management control manages logical entities called execution agents. Each execution agent has a name assigned by JP1/AJS that corresponds to the name of the agent host that is to execute the job. Keeping the name of the agent host separate from the job definition provides greater portability of job definitions. By using execution agent, you can set restrictions on concurrent execution and job transfer, enabling the number of jobs handled by an agent host to be controlled according to its processing load or the time of day.
Two or more execution agents can be grouped in an execution agent group. This allows job execution to be distributed among multiple agents.
