<div><p>The agent console gives you the capability to control and customize

an agents behavior by associating a level of automation with that agent.</p>

<div class="section"><p>The Intelligent Agents console provides a way for you to control

|

<p>To view an agents capabilities,

and change an agent's automation setting in <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span>,
|
||
|
|
follow these steps:</p>

<ol><li><span>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Intelligent Agents</span>.</span></li>
|

|
||
|
|
<li><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Automation</span> tab to display the
|
||
|
|
agent's currently configured automation level.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Capabilities</span> to display a list of
|

the actions this agent can take, and the automation level associated with
|

these capabilities.</span></li>

<div class="section"><div class="fignone"><span class="figcap">Figure 1. Viewing the automation level associated with the capabilities
|
||

of a TimeMonitor agent</span><br /><img src="rzahx001.gif" alt="The capabilities dialog allows you to view an agents current capabilites and the level of automation asscoiated with those capabilities" /><br /></div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Every agent has a set of capabilities that define what kinds of actions
|
||
|
|
that agent can perform. The agent console displays an agent's available capabilities
|
||
|
|
associated with the agent's corresponding automation level. Each automation
|
||
|
|
level setting (High automation, Medium automation, Low automation, and Custom
|
||
|
|
automation) will change the states (Automate, Ask first, Never ask) of the
|
||
|
|
available capabilities for the agent.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, If an agent has the
|
||
|
|
capability to clear log files when full, when you change the level of automation
|
||
|
|
from <span class="uicontrol">High automation</span> to <span class="uicontrol">Medium automation</span>,
|
||
|
|
the agent's capability will change from a state of <span class="uicontrol">Automate</span> to
|
||
|
|
a state of <span class="uicontrol">Ask first</span>. The agent will now request permission
|
||
|
|
before it deletes a log file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Specifying an agent's automation level
|
||
|
|
will determine if an agent automatically performs an action, asks before performing
|
||
|
|
an action, or never performs an action. The possible automation values are:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">High automation</span> <p>The agent will perform most
|
||
|
|
actions automatically, but will ask before performing certain destructive
|
||
|
|
actions. Depending on the agent, certain actions may require that the agent
|
||
|
|
always request outside intervention before it performs that action, even when
|
||
|
|
set to <span class="uicontrol">High automation</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Medium automation</span> <p>The agent will perform some
|
||
|
|
actions automatically, and will ask before performing some actions. Depending
|
||
|
|
on the agent, certain actions may require that the agent always request outside
|
||
|
|
intervention before it performs that action, even when set to <span class="uicontrol">Medium
|
||
|
|
automation</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Low automation</span> <p>The agent will rarely perform
|
||
|
|
any actions automatically. The agent will almost always request outside intervention
|
||
|
|
before it performs any action.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><span class="uicontrol">Custom automation</span><p>The agent will automate, ask
|
||
|
|
first, or never perform actions according to how the capabilities are manually
|
||
|
|
configured.</p>
