To View and Maintain Agents

1. Use a web browser to navigate to the Event Manager, using a responsibility and navigation path specified by your system administrator. Then choose Agents in the horizontal navigation. See: Oracle Workflow Developer Navigation Paths.

You can navigate to the Event Manager from other Oracle Workflow administrator web pages by choosing the Business Events tab or selecting the Business Events link at the bottom of the page.

2. To locate specific agents, enter search criteria in the Search region. The main search option is:

Name - Enter the internal name of the agent you want to display. You can enter a partial value to search for agents whose internal names contain that value.

3. You can also enter additional search criteria to search for agents by other characteristics. To show the additional options if they are hidden, select the Show More Search Options link. To hide these options if they are shown, select the Hide More Search Options link. The additional search criteria are:

Protocol - Select the protocol of the agent you want to display.

Address - Enter the address of the agent you want to display.

System - Select the system of the agent you want to display. Select the field's search icon to display a list of values from which to choose. You can search by the system internal name or display name. See: Using a List of Values.

Direction - Select In or Out as the direction of the agents you want to display.

Type - Select Agent or Group as the type of the agents you want to display.

Status - Select Enabled or Disabled as the status of the agents you want to display.

4. Select the Go button to perform your search.

5. The Results region displays the agents that match your search criteria. For each agent, the list displays the internal name, address, protocol, direction, type, and status. Select the Name, Protocol, Type, or Status column heading to sort the list by that column.

6. If you have workflow administrator privileges, you can use the administration icons and buttons to perform administrative operations.

To update an agent, choose the update icon in the Update column for that agent. See: To Create or Update an Agent and To Create or Update an Agent Group.

To delete an agent, select the agent and select the Delete button. In the Delete page, select the Apply button. You can also select the Cancel button to return to the previous page without deleting the agent.

Note: You can only delete agents that do not have any subscriptions referencing them and that do not belong to any agent groups.

To create a new individual agent, select the Create Agent button. See: To Create or Update an Agent.

To create a new agent group, select the Create Agent Group button. See: To Create or Update an Agent Group.

Note: Whenever you make changes to your agents that affect the physical implementation required for message propagation, you should recheck your propagation setup.
