Stateful or Stateless Autosys agent connection

[Tukaram Choudhari]

Hello,

we have installed Autosys agent in GPC, the GPC team want to understand the scheduler to agent connection is Stateful or Stateless 

[Chandrasekaran Venkataraman]

Hi - 
GPC? Do you mean GCP (Google Cloud Platform)? 
Communication between the AutoSys Scheduler and the Agent is asynchronous using message queues through TCP/IP ports and I believe TCP based connections are stateful because both server and client maintain information about the session itself during its lifespan. 

Thanks,
Chandru

Hello Chandru, thankyou, yes its google cloud

When doing firewall you need to set up true bi-directional. It is not Stateful/stateliness firewall connection.

The agents can make their own connection to AutoSys.
