Certain tasks in XBOUND (for example, resubmitting tasks or deleting old log messages) cannot be carried out by activities or collectors. Instead these actions are done by system agents, or agents for short, and they are related to maintaining the system.
System agents work in a similar manner as collectors. The main difference is that collectors are configured globally. The configuration of a collector applies to the whole XBOUND system, and collectors are executed with this configuration by every XBOUND Collect Service.
In contrast, an agent must be assigned to each XBOUND System Agent Service that is to execute it. The configuration of the agent applies only for this assignment. Therefore, the area concept is not needed for agents.
You access system agents using the System Agent Manager.
Before a system agent can be assigned to a System Agent Service and configured, you must add it to XBOUND, if it is not part of the XBOUND platform.
