What is agent in bcc

Hi Guys
what is an agent in bcc and what is the main role of agent in bcc.

Agent does not necessarily mean CSC User
In terms of BCC/Content administraion
Two types of agents run on target sites:
Publishing agents run on the ATG servers. These agents are configured to manage deployment-related tasks for repository and file assets on the target site.
Publishing Web agents run on the Web servers. These agents are configured to manage deployment-related tasks for file assets on the target Web server.
refer to Content Administration programming Guide for more details

Agent in BCC

Hi Guys
what is an agent in BCC .what is the main use of agent in bcc
please give me clear picture on it

Hi,
Agent is a service that is running in a web server or ATG server and it takes care of the deployment in that server.
Please refer to the below link to get the basics of the target site.

Using different machines in package..and what about agents ??

hi everyone ;
first i want to explain my configuration :
we have a oracle datawarehouse on ip:1 unix machine. and our ODI server (and oracle database, i mean our repositories are on this machine not the warehouse )is on another windows machine which ip : 2 ..
and i have a ODI client on my local pc(windows)..
I want to transfer a few txt files from another ftp machine which ip :3 to the datawarehouse ( ip:1) ..and schedule this senario..
about my question :
i can do all of this :
when i'm working with ODI Studio on ODI server machine ( ip :2 ) i can get files from ftp (ip:3 ) to server machine (ip:2 ) (with odiftpget), i can use a package to load data from file to oracle table on the ip:2 machine again..
but i want to do the same things without save files on the ODI server, i want to load data to datawarehouse oracle tables.( ip :1 )
we have a standalone agent on the ODI windows machine (ip:2)
the question is how can i transfer the txt files from 3 to 1 ( from ftp to dataware house ) without saving files in my local machine or ODI server machine.. is that about the agents and do i have to install an agent on the datawarehouse machine (ip :1 )..
thanks ..

ok. thanks . but how can i instal an agent on ip:1 machine... do i have to run odi setup.exe and select just stanalone agent for ip:1 machine after than create an physical and logical agent on ODI studio and select the ip:1 macihes's host and port than start the agent on ip:1 machine ( configure the odiparams etc.. )
or is there an another way ??

Invalidate cache on agents using CacheInvalidation Listener from BCC

We have a stored procedure running from BCC server once the data load completes i want to clear the catalog cache from agents from BCC using CacheInvalidation Listener, how to configure CacheInvalidation Listener on agent side and send message from BCC server to invalidate the cache.
on oracle API i saw invalidateAllCaches() , method how can i trigger this from the BCC server on the agent server?
Edited by: 946140 on Dec 1, 2012 4:12 AM

I think you can try invoking cache invalidator client. Refer this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24152_01/Platform.10-1/ATGRepositoryGuide/html/s1018invokethecacheinvalidatormanuall01.html
Note that you would have to include <ATG>/DAS/lib/classes.jar in classpath while invoking the client class.

Mirror Agent not shutting down - what is this?

Hello - Does anyone know what Mirror Agent is? In the last week when I try to shut down a time out pops up w/ - Mirror agent has failed to log out so the shut down is canceled. This is probably not the right forum but can anyone direct me to the correct forum? Thank you in advance. Tami

Mirror agent is the "sync" feature of iDisk.
A mirror is a "reflection" of the files your are trying to "sync".
You can turn synching off in the MobileMe System Preference pane / iDisk tab.

FDERecovery Agent, what is it?

Hello. I am seeing a message in Console that is new to me (OSX 10.8.4). I Goggled it, but it does not seem to native to Macs. Anyone have an idea what FDERecovery Agent is? Gave me this message:
7/25/13 4:37:19.667 PM FDERecoveryAgent[81]: No recovery record to post (this may be normal if you change keys more frequently then the recovery service can be contacted)
Thanks.

FDERecoveryAgent sends encrypted CoreStorage key recovery information to Apple.
It is run only when "Store the recovery key with Apple" is selected, and even then only if the information could not be transmitted when that option was first selected.

Policy agent using https redirect to AM for authentication

We are using Access Manager 6 2005Q1.
Access Manager is running on box A & box B using the Sun Web Server as its front end web server. Box A & B both have a complete install of Sun Web Server, Access Manager, and Directory Server. The Directory servers are set up to replicate changes between each other. Our Policy Agents are running on box C & box D under the Apache web servers.
Users will access applications on box C/D via https. The policy agents on box C/D should redirect the user to box A/B (via a load balancer VIP)for authentication. The redirect will be https. Once authenticated the user should be redirected back to box C/D.
All subsequent communications between the Agents on box C/D to AM on box A/B (via load balancer VIP) are http.
Our load balancer is currently setup as active/failover because it does not support ssl with cookies.
In our AMAgent.properties file if I set 'com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL = http://<lb-vip>:80/amserver/UI/Login' and access box C/D as https://<webserver>/<url> I am redirected to AM on box A/B for authentication. Once authenticated I am redirected back to box C/D and allowed access to <url>.
However, if I set 'com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL = https://<lb-vip>:443/amserver/UI/Login' and access box C/D as https://<webserver>/<url> I am NOT redirected to AM and receive 'Forbidden You don't have permission to access /<url> on this server. Also in the agent log file I see:
     2006-01-30 12:42:30.792 Debug 28126:203470 PolicyAgent: in_not_enforced_list():enforcing access control for https://<webserver>:443/<url>
     2006-01-30 12:42:30.792 Debug 28126:203470 PolicyAgent: am_web_is_access_allowed https://<webserver>:443/<url>S, GET) no sso token, setting status to invalid session.
     2006-01-30 12:42:30.792 Debug 28126:203470 PolicyAgent: Policy Agent: am_web_is_access_allowed returned status=invalid session
     2006-01-30 12:42:32.800 Warning 28126:203470 PolicyAgent: am_web_get_redirect_url() unable to find active Identity Server Auth server.
     2006-01-30 12:42:32.800 Info 28126:203470 PolicyAgent: do_redirect(): Status Code= invalid session.
Interestingly if I set 'com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL = https://<am-server>:443/amserver/UI/Login' and access box C/D as https://<webserver>/<url> I am redirected to AM on box A/B for authentication. Once authenticated I am redirected back to box C/D and allowed access to <url>. In this scenario the only difference is I am bypassing the load balancer.
Our networking people have monitored the load balancer in front of our AM boxes A/B and see the traffic going to AM in all cases.
From my standpoint it appears the agent is not able to successfully connect to AM via https when going through the load balancer.
Any help with this configuration issue is appreciated.

Bernhard,
From our AMAgent.properties... com.sun.am.policy.agents.version=2.1. Is there a way for me to tell if this is truely only 2.1 or 2.1-xx?
Because our LB does not support SSL with cookies we are currently configured as active/failover so all requests are going to the same AM server until it goes down, at which time I know users have to re-authenticate. Also we have set "com.sun.am.loadBalancer_enable = true" in AMAgent.properties.
We understand your point about loginURL. Infact there are two properties dealing with loginURL, com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL and com.sun.am.policy.am.library.loginURL. Based on the comments in AMAgent.properties my understanding is that com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL is where the user is redirected for login when no valid SSO token is found and com.sun.am.policy.am.library.loginURL is what the agent uses to authenticate itself "If the previously specified login URL must be exclusively used for redirecting users..." The interesting part is that if we set com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL to use http everything works just fine, however if we set it to use https the user never gets redirected. Its almost like the agent is trying to connect there first before doing the redirect and can not.

How do you register an agent of on 11.2 DB to run remote jobs on another ?

There are examples available showing how to install a remote agent on a host that doesnt have an Oracle database (using the gateway CD in 11.1 or the Oracle Client in 11.2) and from reading the documentation, it suggests you only need to install the remote agent if there is not an Oracle database on the host. If I have two Oracle databases and want to run remote jobs from DBMS_SCHEDULER on host A against data on host B, how can i register the agent as i cant find any examples that do this.
With the remote agent installed, there are schagent either in unix or windows but i cant find this in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin of an 11.2 Enterprise install. I've run the prvtrsch.sql script as SYS and it's created the REMOTE_SCHEDULER_AGENT user and objects (which i think might be the equivalent of running schagent on the remote client) but then when i want to register the agent on the calling Oracle database, i dont know what the agent name is to specify in the CREATE_SCHEDULER_DESTINATION call.
I've added the TNS entries for both directions but just dont have enough information to find the missing bit that lets me connect them.
Any help appreciated, or just some pointer to know if I am in the right direction would be great
Thanks

Hi Ronald
I have your book which has been very useful in other areas I have been investigating on DBMS_SCHEDULER ( I certainly recommend it to anyone doing any serious work on DBMS_SCHEDULER) but it's not in there either - I've read the chapter ''Getting out of the database' several times and whilst it goes into great detail on how to install the remote agent on a machine without a database, I could only find a brief mention of running an agent in the database starting on page 113 where it talks about 'preparing the database for remote agent usage'.
I've done these things on the second database but the later part of the chapter is back to running jobs on a machine without Oracle installed and use of schagent which doesn't exist in in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin on a machine that has Oracle installed so I am stuck on how to proceed.
You also mention the enhancement request so would be interested to know what happened with this ?
The first thing that comes to my mind when a registration has been done is: "How
can I check this?" Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to check the status of the
agent's registration—not even in the database. It would be very convenient to have
an Oracle view that gives an oversight of which agents are talking with the database.
I filed an enhancement request (7462577) for this. So with a little luck, we can check
the status of remote agents in the near future.
I figure if I have the name of the agent, I can use it in the CREATE_DATABASE_DESTINATION call on my calling database but I cant find the name anywhere. In SQL Developer on the SQL table of create destination, it shows this as being SYS."" and inserts whatever you select from a dropdown list but I don't know how to get any values into the dropdown so possibly the registration wasn't complete but it has created the database objects in the schema and I got no errors when running it.
Any advise on how to proceed welcome and perhaps it can be added as an addition to the next version of the book.

How to delete User-Agent header field from http request ?

Hi,
I'm currently using HttpUrlConnection to create a HTTP 1.1 POST client, and I wish to remove the User-Agent field from my request.
However, java seems to set this field to "java.1.4.2" if none is provided.
I have found methods to modify the User-Agent ( "setRequestProperty()" and system property "http.agent" ) but none to delete it.
Is there a way to remove this header from the request ?
This field is said as "should be implemented" but is not required in rfc2616(http1.1), so I'm a bit surprised that I can't remove it in the java HttpUrlConnection...
Thank you for your help,
Gregoire

You can always go around java.net.HttpUrlConnection with your own subclass of UrlConnection or simply a socket. You may lose some functionality, for example with handling binary content, but it may still be a solution.
(But are you saying that the server requires that there's no user-agent header? That's not a case of incompatibility, it's a bug. Scrap the server, and get one that works.
It seems a lot more likely that the server just have strict ideas of what user agents it wants to talk to. Then instead of removing the header, you want to find out what values the server will expect.)

Agent console in Remote Support Platform

Hi Experts,
What is agent console in Remote Support platform?Also in the active task when you view the task there is an option named communication in the communication tab there is an option of customize so what is the reason behind it.
Thanks in advance -
Mona.

Hello,
RSP consists of the following two applications:
1. RSP Agent Service - This is a windows service, instantly running on a server (preferably SAP Business One server machine). The service itself does not have any UI, it is a background process. This is the "application logic".
2. RSP Agent Console - The console is the user interface to configure, manage and use the RSP service. It can connect to a locally installed RSP Agent service or to a remotely installed RSP Agent Service (within the company intranet).
As for the communication settings in the task details:
- Every RSP task generates a report (XML file, HTML file) which is then sent by email to configured recipients or to SAP.
- Communication channels specify, where, how and to whom the reports will be sent (email, SAP, saved locally to a directory).
- By default, all tasks use the default settings configured in the RSP configuration.
- The default settings can be overriden by the task specific configuration of communication channels. For example, for example you can configure the task to send the results to specific email recipients which are different from those configured in the RSP configuration. Or, you can turn off sending the results to SAP for a selected task. This way you can route results of task to relevant support people (experts) who are interested in them.
If you have any more comments or questions, I will be happy to answer.
Best regards

Agents logged on count

Hi All,
I am trying to calculate how many agents are logged on at particular time say 9:00 am, 9:15 am etc.
Could anyone please let us know if there is any way from HDS database or any other source we can find this information.
At the moment, I am calculating manually by taking the screenshots of CUIC which we customised to display real time information . If we dont take screenshots , we are going to loose the real time information . Hence is there any way so that we can get this from any other source.
Your comments are highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards
Deepak

You simply could query the Agent_Real_Time table and determine what's going on with your agents based on the value of their agent state. The ucce database schema doc details what the agent state values are.
This might not really help you... but maybe you can take this query and run with it
SELECT
aed.DateTime, ag.PeripheralNumber AS LoginID, ag.EnterpriseName AS Agent
FROM
Agent ag
join Agent_Event_Detail aed on aed.SkillTargetID = ag.SkillTargetID
join Skill_Target st on ag.SkillTargetID = st.SkillTargetID
where aed.Event = '1'
and (aed.LoginDateTime between '2014-01-27 07:00:00.000' and '2014-01-27 09:14:59.999')
Order By aed.DateTime

Web Policy Agent 2.1 for Apache 1.3.27 with Identity Server 6.1

Any suggestions would be of great help.

From your description, since the agent installs file with a different JRE, I would suspect it has something to do with the availability of JCE provider in the first JRE. By default, WebSphere's JRE is equipped with IBM JCE provider which is what the agent uses to encrypt the necessary
information. If this provider is not configured correctly it could result in the error that you are seeing. Please check the WebSphere installation and make sure that the JRE used by it has the necessary IBM JCE provider configured. The java.security file for this should contain something like:
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.3=com.ibm.jsse.IBMJSSEProvider
security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPath
security.provider.5=com.ibm.crypto.pkcs11.provider.IBMPKCS11
Also, make sure that when you are installing the agent you specify the Java Home as prompted by the agent to point to the location where this JRE is installed. Typically this is under WebSphere/AppServer/java directory. HTH, Jerry

Web re-skill agent tool

Dear All,
Actually I have ICM7.2.7, and recently I checked the agent re-skill agent web tool in AW setup, I want to know what is the link I should insert in IE and how to login to change agent skill, is that with user list in Configuration Manager user
Can I give permission to specific user to change through specific skills?
Appreciate your support as usual,
Regards,
Mohamed Gheta

So, the permissions aren't that granular. Any supervisor can log in with their supervisor account. Once logged in they can only see the agents who belong to their team. However, they can assign any skill to their agents. This shouldn't be that big of a problem as your supervisors are supposed to know what they are doing (assuming proper training). Also, to answer your question ahead of time, there is no way to track who changed what through agent reskilling.
