Input Agents
Input Agents are used in profiles to receive the input data.
There are basically two types of Input Agents.
On the one hand, the event-driven ones, which are passively supplied by a data source at any time.
And on the other hand, the time-driven ones, which collect data from a data source at a time defined by the user.
In addition, a distinction can be made between Input Agents that place jobs in a Thread Queue and those that process jobs directly. For now, you can neglect this. If necessary, you will find a note for affected Input Agents.
Copy and paste of settings
You can copy (with the icon right of button "Change input agent") the settings of all Input Agents (besides type "Manual Upload" and "Rule") and paste them into an Input Agent of the same type in another profile. You can save one instance of each Input Agent type to the clipboard.
Related services
The corresponding service for an Input Agent has to be configured. This can either be done directly in the configuration file "./etc/factory.xml" or on the "Services" page of the Admin Console. After that a restart of the Integration Server is necessary.
You can see which services are running on the Integration Server on pages "Start" and "Services" of the Admin Console.
You may also need an additional license for the service.
You can see which services are licensed on the Integration Server in the console output or in file "./logs/wrapper.log" if the Integration Server is running as a service.
