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
• Domain: used when the agent in installed in a cross domain environment
• Username: used when the agent in installed in a cross domain environment
• 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
• 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.
