- Domain: used when the agent in installed in a cross domain environment

Execution Agents are Flowster Studio’s custom services which executes workflows on demand. Execution Agents are used when launching a workflow into execution from Portal or even from Designer.
An Execution Agent is installed by using a custom installer, which creates an entry into the Flowster’s database, but Administrator allows the user to manually add an execution group into the database or to modify existing agents.
NOTE:
- adding an execution agent into the Flowster database does not install the agent itself. Also, removing an agent from the database does not uninstall the agent itself.
A new Execution Agent can be added by clicking the Add button:
- Insert the execution agent's endpoint in the 0.0.0.0 format or MACHINENAME format
- Select the group where the new execution agent should be added
- If cross domain, insert a domain, a username and the user’s password
- Click Save Changes in order to save the provided information.
An Execution Agent can be edited by selecting it and clicking the Edit button:
- edit the endpoint
- Select a group from the list to change it
- Edit the Domain, Username and/or Password
- Click Save Changes to keep the new values.
An Execution Agent can be removed by selecting the agent and clicking the Remove button.
