Remote Execution Options

These options determine how jobs from a Queue will be run on the selected Agent. Changing these settings only affects the Agent's behavior for the Queue being edited: if the Agent is also used by other Queues, it may use different settings for those Queues.

To change these settings, select an Agent on the Distributed Scheduling page of the Job Queue's properties, and click the Edit...button.

Enable execution on this agent

Check this box to run jobs from this Queue on this Agent. If the option is not checked, the Agent remains associated with the Queue, but jobs from the Queue will not be run on the Agent.

Queue execution commands

This option determines what happens if adTempus cannot deliver an execution command to the Agent (because the Agent is not running or the network connection is broken).

• If this option is checked, adTempus will queue the command. Once the connection is re-established, the command will be delivered to the Agent and the job will be run.
• If this option is not checked, the command will be discarded, and the job will not be run on the Agent.

Set a priority for this agent

Each Agent configured for the Queue can be assigned a priority to be used when assigning jobs to the Queue when using Load Balancing (see the Load Balancing rules). When jobs are assigned by priority, jobs to go the agent with the higher priority. If an agent's priority is not set (or is set to 0), the priority is ignored.
