Automic Workload Automation

  • 1.  Automatic cleaning database

    Q:
    We have created the jobs for: 
    - Jobs archiving (UCYBDBar -B -S&client) 
    - Jobs reorganizing (UCYBDBre -B -S&client#) 
    - Jobs unloading (UCYBDBun -BREORG ) 
    But we are unable to initiate these as a job on our Automic central server who also has the database. 
    these jobs needs local executables but the installed agent is only usable for the automation engine itself. 
    Adding a new agent doesn't work, because there is already an agent installed. 
    We have to run these manually on the server every weekend, it would be interesting to automate this. 
    What is the best practice to do this? 

    A:
    Please find an example below

    Hau, Thanks for this hint. Just to add one more thing. If you plan to set up reorganization, ensure that you do the archive and reorg process for all of the clients you are using, including client 0.

    In client 0 you dont process tasks, but all the reports of agents and automation engine are saved, this can also get rather large, if you do not reorganize on a regulary base.

    Hello,

    Just a few considerations after reading this post :)

    these jobs needs local executables but the installed agent is only usable for the automation engine itself.

    The agent should be able to run the utilities. These are just executable files that can be called via an agent, and may be run like any other tasks.


    Adding a new agent doesn't work, because there is already an agent installed.
    It's definitely possible to install another agent, all it takes is defining a different name and port in the ini file. Here are the tags to look for :

    [GLOBAL]
    name=<agent2>

    [TCP/IP]
    port=

    Best regards,
    Antoine
