Engine Mode Utility

The adTempus Engine Mode utility (adtenginemode.exe) is found in the adTempus program files folder and in the adTempus Server Tools group on the Windows Start menu. It is used to change the Engine Mode in which the adTempus service on a computer runs:

• Standalone
• Master
• Agent / Standalone
• Agent Only

See the adTempus Engine Mode topic for information on these modes.

Resetting an Agent's Master

An Agent can belong to only one Master. The Agent will "lock on" to the first Master that connects to it, and reject any subsequent connection attempts from other Master computers.

To move an Agent to a new Master, follow these procedures:

1. In the current Master, delete the Remote Agent definition for the Agent (in the Remote Agents folder in the Console). This is necessary so the current Master does not try to reconnect to the Agent.
2. On the Agent computer, run the Engine Mode utility.
3. Check the Reset Master box.
4. Click OK to save the changes, and OK again to allow the tool to restart the adTempus service.
5. On the new Master, create a Remote Agent definition for the Agent (in the Remote Agents folder in the Console). The new Master will now connect to the Agent, and the Agent will lock on to the new Master.

When you reset the Master for an Agent, the Agent will discard all jobs and other data that were sent from the previous Master.
