Administering agents and processes

Agent administration
Agents perform background processes, such as cleaning up data, running workflows, and calculating formulas. You can manage and configure your agents in the Agent Manager object of the Administrator Console.

Threads management
To control the number of threads that are started for each agent, use the Threads Manager in the Administrator Console.

Workflow agents
Workflow agents pick up and process workflow events that are published by their designated users. You can designate IBM TRIRIGA application users for a workflow agent in the Workflow Agent Manager object of the Administrator Console.

Managed processes
The Managed Processes object in the Administrator Console shows all BIRT reporting processes that are currently running on the application server. The Managed Processes object can help you to identify reports that are using too much memory and to stop those reports.
