This section explains Data Capture and Delivery agents
and how to view and manage them using the Agent Configuration panel
in the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console.
Agents are executable code modules that operate
on events flowing through the system. WebSphere Premises Server comes
with the following agent types: ControllerType, DeviceType, LocationType,
TaskAgentType, and SystemType.
- ControllerType
- An agent that creates or operates on events related to a Data Capture and Delivery controller.
- DeviceType
- An agent that creates or operates on events related to a device, such as a printer or a
reader.
- LocationType
- An agent that creates or operates on events related to a location, such as a dock door.
- TaskAgentType
- An agent that creates or operates on events that flow into and
out of WebSphere Premises Server.
- SystemType
- There is only one agent that is SystemType. This agent is the
SystemAgent for WebSphere Premises Server. This
agent controls the configuration settings for WebSphere Premises Server components.
