|  |  | Management Servers and Intelligent Agents |  | 
Management Servers work with Intelligent
 Agents on nodes to discover services, and manage jobs and events.
An Intelligent Agent is installed on each managed
node to administer the Oracle services on that node.
Intelligent Agents execute jobs on targets in the order in
which they are received, and notify the management server of the result.
When an event occurs on a target, the Intelligent Agent
notifies the Management Server.
If an agent is unavailable, the Management Server reports that node and
all its services as unavailable.
Both management servers and agents queue messages if the other party is not available.
An Intelligent Agent can receive jobs and events from
more than one administrator, and from more than one repository.
