Engine Mode Editor

The adTempus Engine Mode editor is found in the Server Configuration Editor. It is used to change the Engine Mode in which the adTempus service on a computer runs:

• Primary
• Agent + Standalone
• Agent-Only

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

Resetting an Agent's Controller

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

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

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

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