Change agentparm file dynamically when ESP switching to Shadow

Products

• Workload Automation Agent
• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

When ESP Workload Automation switches over to the Shadow Manager, the MGRADDR AGENT command in ESPPARM can make sure all active agents will communicate with the Shadow Manager.

However, if any of the agents need to be recycled, then it will try to communicate with the original ESP manager (based on the data in agentparm.txt file), not the Shadow Manager.

Is there any way to change the server data in agentparm.txt file as well?

Environment

Release: ALL
Component: ESP Workload Automation & Workload Automation Agent

Resolution

"MGRADDR AGENT PERSISTENT(YES)" can be used to permanently save the current Manager address and receiver port number in the Agent's agentparm.txt file. So the agent knows to which receiver to connect even after being recycled.
