<div><p>Create and customize your own agent to perform the tasks that you
|
||
|
|
desire. The ABLE toolkit and its associated documentation provide a working
|
||
|
|
development environment and a template agent that can be used as a guide for
|
||
|
|
developing your own agents.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the Agent Building and Learning Environment (ABLE) toolkit
|
||
|
|
to develop your own hybrid intelligent agents. This Java™ framework
|
||
|
|
has its own rule language (ARL) and its own GUI-based interactive development
|
||
|
|
environment, the Able Agent Editor; both are provided to assist in the construction
|
||
|
|
of Able agents.</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">ABLE 2.0</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Both the ABLE toolkit and complete ABLE documentation are available to
|
||
|
|
download in .zip packages.</dd>

<p>The <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span> Intelligent
|
||
|
|
Agents console ships with a template agent that you can use as a guideline
|
||
|
|
for developing agents to work with the console. The source code for <span class="uicontrol">AbleEserverTemplateAgent</span> is
|
||
|
|
stored in <span class="uicontrol">ableplatform.jar</span>, located in <span class="uicontrol">QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Able</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="uicontrol">AbleEserverTemplateAgent</span> makes use of many of the
|
||
|
|
features available when developing agents using the ABLE framework. It demonstrates
|
||
|
|
how an agent would create a set of capabilities that could be managed through
|
||
|
|
the console. It includes a <span class="uicontrol">Customize</span> panel that can
|
||
|
|
be used to alter agent settings and an <span class="uicontrol">About</span> panel
|
||
|
|
that is used to display information about the agent. It also shows how an
|
||
|
|
agent uses the Logging Service to log requests and history entries that can
|
||
|
|
be displayed and responded to through the console.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Agent Capabilities</h4><p>The EServerTemplateAgent has
|
||
|
|
the following capabilities:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><strong>Time Monitor</strong> <p>The agent will watch for minute and hour changing
|
||
|
|
events and take action. There are four different situations that the agent
|
||
|
|
will follow depending on what the capability is set to, or how the user responds
|
||
|
|
to a request if one is logged:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>Log the change without telling the time.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Log the change with telling the time as a long.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Log the change with telling the time in MM/DD/YY format</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Do nothing</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Duplicate Request</strong> <p>The agent will watch for multiple hour and
|
||
|
|
minute change requests. There are two different situation that the agent will
|
||
|
|
follow with this capability if a duplicate is found.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>Create a duplicate request</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Do not create a duplicate request</li>
