- Common Agent Attributes |
- The following attributes are a subset of attributes used by iPAM. Many attributes will be unique to each agent. The ones listed below are generally held by most agents.
cache.
- Attributes with this prefix are used by some agents with caches. These are not intended for "human use"
creator
- Identifies the creater of the Juggler.
description
- A phrase that identifies the role of this agent. Often this phrase is tagged onto PIM products to provide descriptive information that "follows" the product through the system.
- enabled
- true or false to indicate whether the agent should be invoked
- exposure
- public or private. Private exposure means that the agents configuration can only be edited by the system adiminstrator or by the creator of the agent (based on the value of the creator attribute). The creator attribute is often used to hold the name of the configuration of agents.
- logActivity
- true or false. If true then this means that a messages will be log the fact that the agent is starting and finishing a task. You may wish to disable logging for agents that activate often.
- meta_
- There are several attributes that start with this prefix. These generally convey information about the agent which is used by the GUI tools such as Bert. They are not intended to be changed by the user.
meta_persistentAgent
- By default the state of all agents is saved when the system checkpoints. If this attribute is present and has a value of "false" then the agent will not be saved during a checkpoint. This attribute is a special case attribute that may be changed if appropriate by a non-GUI configuration controller (perhaps one utilizing the Java RMI interface to control iPAM).
