If it is possible to establish a connection, the cp sends performance values regarding this connection and all cp addresses known in the system to the clientA closed environment within an Automation Engine system where you can create and run objects. A client name consists of a 4-digit number that must be indicated when a user logs on to the Automation Engine system. Users and their rights are also defined in clients. A particular Automation Engine object type. (UserInterfaceThis is the Automation Engine's graphical user interface.

An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host). The cp addresses serve to update the corresponding section in the configuration file. The client connects to all these processes and obtains their performance values in order to identify the cp with the most optimal values i.e. the lowest work load.

The connections to all other communication processes are terminated.
A AE system can have up to 12288 active agent connections and 1024 active userIn the Automation Engine, a user is an instance of a User object, and generally the user is a specific person who works with Automic products. The User object is assigned a user ID and then a set of access rights to various parts of the Automation Engine system and product suite. These access rights come in the form of Automation Engine authorizations and privileges, Decision user roles and EventBase rights and ARA web application object rights. You can manage all these centrally in the ECC user management functions. See also, Unified user management. connections.
