This news is
brought to you by Shelby/Arena Product Owner: Alex Nicoletti.
Currently in
Arena, Automation Agents run as a Windows Service on the Web Server.
Configuration for these agents are managed outside of the web application
via a standard Desktop Application. In the upcoming release, 2300.1.100, we
will be making major changes to these Automation Agents.
We will be moving this process into the Arena
Web Application. This will not only allow Administrators to manage the agents
from a web portal, but also allow us additional flexibility in the future to
provide feature enhancements and fixes via the existing Hub Update Process.
Administrators will also have the ability to run an agent immediately without
having to cycle the Agent Service or create fake frequencies. We even allow you
to have an agent setup without a frequency for processes that happen once a
year (Email Contribution Statements for example).
A preview of these changes is available on
the ExperienceDev site
under Administration \ Agent Management.
We will be posting additional information in
the near future, but we wanted to give everyone a quick preview of what the
Development Team has been working on.
