The source that composes an agent may be pre-defined and stored with the DOMAIN server, or the source may be defined dynamically with the request for the agent to execute.
Client/server-based agents provide the following types of services:
These services can be used together to maximize the flexibility and functionality of a client/server application. For example, using agent services, an application can be designed to execute autonomously on a periodic basis. The application can make conditional decisions to satisfy its goals, including submitting other processes for execution on various hosts on the network. See Using Agent Services for more information.
The AGENT option must be specified in the PROC DOMAIN statement, in order to use agent services. An example follows:
libname domain "."; proc domain agent; run;
For more information about configuring and using the DOMAIN server, see Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT and SAS/SHARE Software.
