  • 1.  AE v9: Host group precedence

    Hi, can anyone explain how a host group with mode "Next listed" works, please?

    Definition in the help is:

    Next listed: On the next active Agent. The order results from the table.

    My question is, "next active agent" relative to what? Next in line relative to the agent given to the previous job that was started? Or next agent in line that isn't already running a job... or...?

    Thanks!

    It's a round up definition.
    Think about you want do do a online backup on certain server using the same OS and the same Backup solution, but you can do only once at the same time because of the limited resources as tape librarys.
    This allows to schedule for example on job using the AgentGroup Object recurrend. Each execution is running on the next Agent until the last Agent is used. Then the it starts again with the first Agent.
