HCL Workload Automation Agent workstations

An HCL Workload Automation Agent is a computer automatic workstation and has the Z-CENTRIC AGENT option in the panel shown in EQQWCGEP - Creating general information about a workstation set to Y. HCL Workload Automation Agents are distributed workstations that run jobs scheduled from HCL Workload Automation for Z. Like fault-tolerant agents, they are installed in an HCL Workload Automation distributed domain. Unlike fault-tolerant agents, they do not:

Have fault tolerance
Require the end-to-end server
Need topology definitions

Communication with the agents is handled directly by the controller.

An HCL Workload Automation Agent is a computer running the HCL Workload Automation agent. For more information about the end-to-end scheduling with z-centric capabilities environment, see HCL Workload Automation for Z: Scheduling End-to-end with z-centric Capabilities.
