This document guides you through the new installation of a GCOS8 agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host.
The following guide describes how to install an agent in an AE system in which authentication is not used. Additional installation steps are required before the agent can be started and used if you intend to use one of the available authentication methods. For more information, see Advanced Security.
RSM8 is required if the jobAn Automation Engine object type for a process that runs on a target system.'s output will be transferred to AE.
The files of the GCOS8 agent are available in binary and ASCII format. They are stored in the directory IMAGE:AGENTS\GCOS8.
