How to setup an agent on a jump server for parallel execution

  • 1.  How to setup an agent on a jump server for parallel execution

    Posted Oct 31, 2017 02:08 PM

    HI,

     

    Wan to find out if there is a way to set an agent on a jump server to run task in parallel.  Our current jump server has been setup to run command line tasks to do cloud deployments. However, since we are using one jump server for multiple apps, it gets tied up and has to wait for a previous flow to finish before it can execute the next flow.  This is creating a stacked backlog that is slowing down our deployment times. 

     

    Is there a way to set the agent to run all tasks in parallel?   I know there is a way to get this to work if we uncheck the exclusive execution option in the server type, but  many apps (and teams building the flows) do not uncheck this option so the problem seems to still persist.  Is there a way to set this at an agent level instead of through the ROC gui?

    Hi

     

    I am not aware there is a option to override this setting on the agent itself , it also would be a bit tricky to do

    as we assume the "exclusive execution option" is selected for a reason on the server type .
