Hi,
I have the same scenario or requirement where in I need one agent to communicate with 2 schedulers simultaneously. However the agent is not behaving as expected & jobs are not running from both the scheduler neither in parallel nor in random fashion.
1st Scheduler is of version - 11.3 SP1INC3
2nd Scheduler is of version - 11.3.6 SP7
so on the new / 2nd scheduler, I have defined the same agent as machine definition & did autoping which is successful.
so as Steve said that agentparm.txt file will get automatically updated. However instead of appending the new/2nd scheduler details in agentparm file, it has replaced the 1st / old scheduler.
My question here is:
1. Why the agent parm file is not appending the new scheduler detail? & why its overwriting the old scheduler details?
2. when the i'm trying to add both the scheduler details manually as suggested by RickR as option#1, I am still not able to trigger jobs from old scheduler & it is stuck in ST state. From New scheduler job is running fine. SO why its not triggering jobs from both the schedulers?
3. As powod suggested in the above post "that managers should have different names". Which name exactly it being referenced here? Manager id? in my case The only difference in old & new scheduler is of HOSTNAME, rest details are same. So do you think that it can be cause for jobs not running from schedulers simultaneously. how can I change the managerid if that is the cause?
****************OLD SCHEDULER DETAIL****************
communication.manageraddress_1=abcdef.123.com
communication.managerid_1=FS1_SCH
communication.managerport_1=7507
communication.socket_1=plain
****************NEW SCHEDULER DETAIL****************
communication.manageraddress_4=xyzpqr.123.com
communication.managerid_4=FS1_SCH
communication.managerport_4=7507
communication.socket_4=plain
4. how an agentparm file gets updated? is it only once when the agent was defined at Autosys server.. agent parm.txt files automatically gets the scheduler details as ADDED by MANAGER
or
Whenever the scheduler is triggering the job on that agent, the agent parm files gets automatically updated as well.
can you please share the response?
