Integration adapters/agents

Agent Servers or Integration Adapters are Java™ applications that run time-triggered (agent) transactions to process orders or shipments.

Out of the box, all time-triggered (agent) transactions are configured to run in a single Agent Server (called the DefaultAgent). This simple setup is convenient for training, development or product demos. This setup is not suitable for production because all the processing threads will run in one JVM.

Note: When running the Change Data Export and Change Data Import agents with a large amount of data, the tmp.sh installation script must include the -Xgcpolicy:gencon flag on every line that contains the -XX:+DisableExplicitGC flag.
