Creating, viewing, and editing an Agent

Agents run actions. Running an action on several servers, requires an Agent for each server. An Agent generates a report file based on a report template. The report template can be edited. The reports are stored in the /System/sysadmin/Reports directory in the Documentum repository running the job that invokes the Agent.

The report format is XML. The template can be any file with a "<DM_XML_INCLUDE>" tag that will be replaced with the XML-report generated by the Agent.

Note

The XML-report has no XML header tag [<?xml version="1.0"?>]) New report template files must be stored in /System/Content Services/DCTM/Template/Report.

Configuring an Agent requires an Action, an SAP Server and SAP user. You must be logged in to Documentum Administrator with administrator privileges.
