Autosys Client point to multiple instances?

[Chris Pace]

Can an Autosys Client point to multiple instances? Or a better question might be, can an Autosys client do a sendevent to another instance, via cross instance syntax? If so what would that syntax be?

[Sunish Mittal]

You mean that can one autosys agent communicate with multiple autosys servers / Instances?

Yes, we can do that. Once agent can be defined in multiple autosys schedulers & can trigger the jobs on that agent from multiple schedulers. There is no need to have cross instance agent configured .

Please note this is not recommended way as it leads to agent licensing issues as well as 
1. This could lead to a security breach or compliance issue.
2. a wrong instance job can be triggered from that agent as there is no check or security to identify whether agent is authorized to trigger the job for that instance or not.

[Steve Carrobis]

Yes. Multi-instance clients and agents have always been available.

You will need to run the wa_setup installer to configure a new AUTOSER.<Instance Name> for each instance .

You will need to run the wa_setup installer to configure a new AUTOSER.<Instance Name> for each instance

Then you can do use the sendevent -S parameter to specify which instance you want to send the event to:
sendevent -S NY1 -E COMMENT -c" comment sent to AUTOSERV=NY1"
sendevent -S NY2 -E COMMENT -c" comment sent to AUTOSERV=NY2"
