Agent Roadmap

ETL+ v2023.07

...

  • Agent assignment for all or individual scheduled jobs.

  • Allowing users to enable/disable scheduled jobs from anywhere.

  • The Agent runs scheduled jobs by monitoring the cloud metadata every 10 secs.

  • An Agent install can manage and run multiple Jobs. Every Job can only be managed and run by a unique Agent install.

  • To set up a Job to run on a different computer, the user has to go to that computer and deploy the Agent (instructions here TBD).

  • The Agent is automatically initiated by a Windows Task Scheduler task and must run with a Windows Local Admin user (configured in ETL+).

  • The Agent introduces the concept of ETL+ Production installs where the locally deployed Agent runs scheduled jobs and remote tasks. ETL+ Production installs must have direct access to source systems and have the Agent locally deployed and running with a local Windows Admin user.

  • The Agent captures the Window Device name in the metadata to associate the ETL+ Entity and Job IDs to run by the Agent.

  • The Agent becomes the default ETL+ scheduling tool (WTS is optional).

  • The Agent date/times are in PST, as shown on the ETL+ Agent UI.

  • Users can remotely run a Job on demand.

  • Users can remotely terminate a Job currently running.

  • The Agent updates the cloud metadata with Jobs' running/idle status.

  • The Agent creates a local log file in the same folder where the Agent is.
