The Settings → Execution Agents page can be reached by clicking the 
menu item.
In the Groups area a list of the execution groups is displayed.
Execution Groups are user defined groups where the Execution Agents are inserted. Multiple agents can be part of the same execution group.
An Execution Group can be added by clicking the Add button, which will open the Add group window:
- Add a name for the group. In the example above there is a machine name
- Click Save Changes in order to add the new group or Close.
After a group is created, it will be visible in the Execution Groups list:
Other operations that can be made over an Execution Group can be Edit or Remove.
In order to edit an execution group, select it and click the Edit button:
- There can be changed the name of the group and
- Click Save Changes to save the new information.
In order to remove an execution group, select it and click the Remove button.
NOTE:
The Execution Groups cannot be removed or edited if they are already assigned to one or multiple workflow timestamps.
An Execution Agent’s displayed information are:
- Execution Agent's endpoint: the address of the execution agents, in the 0.0.0.0 format or MACHINENAME format
- Score: obtained by the Execution Controller service
- Groups: the Execution Group where the agent is in
- Agents Actions: the available actions for an endpoint are Add, Edit and Remove. Removing an execution agent will delete the agent’s information from the database.
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 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
- Select True or False for Use static connection. If Use static connection is true then only one connection will be done and re-used through the app, otherwise the connection will be recreated every time and closed after each operation.
- 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
- Change the Use static connection setting
- Click Save Changes to keep the new values.
An Execution Agent can be removed by selecting the agent and clicking the Remove button.
Local Workflow Logging
In order to make visible the Local Workflow Logging area, click on a specific execution agent from the Execution Agent list:
By default, the Logging enabled option is set to Off. When set to On, each execution of the selected workflows from Configuration Items → Local Workflow Logging is logged as txt files under the path specified on Logging Path field (if the inserted path is from a local directory, it refers to the local directory where the execution agent is installed):
