Cluster Agent Module for Agent Builder

The Cluster Agent module for Agent Builder is a NetBeans module. This module enables you to create resource types for the Solaris Cluster software through the Java Studio Enterprise product.

Note - The Java Studio Enterprise documentation contains information about how to set up, install, and use the Java Studio Enterprise product. You can find this documentation at the http://developers.sun.com/jsenterprise/ web site.

How to Install and Set Up the Cluster Agent Module

The Cluster Agent module is installed when you install the Solaris Cluster software. The Solaris Cluster installation tool places the Cluster Agent module file scdsbuilder.jar in /usr/cluster/lib/scdsbuilder. To use the Cluster Agent module with the Java Studio Enterprise software, you need to create a symbolic link to this file.

Note - The Solaris Cluster and Java Studio Enterprise products and Java 1.4 must be installed and available to the system on which you intend to run the Cluster Agent module.

Enable all users or only yourself to use the Cluster Agent module.
- To enable all users, become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization, and create the symbolic link in the global module directory.
```
# cd /opt/s1studio/ee/modules
# ln -s /usr/cluster/lib/scdsbuilder/scdsbuilder.jar
```
  Note - If you installed the Java Studio Enterprise software in a directory other than /opt/s1studio/ee, substitute this directory path with the path that you used.
- To enable only yourself, create the symbolic link in your modules subdirectory.
```
% cd ~your-home-dir/ffjuser40ee/modules
% ln -s /usr/cluster/lib/scdsbuilder/scdsbuilder.jar
```
Stop and restart the Java Studio Enterprise software.

How to Start the Cluster Agent Module

The following steps describe how to start the Cluster Agent module from the Java Studio Enterprise software.

From the Java Studio Enterprise File menu, choose New, or click this icon on the toolbar:
The New Wizard screen appears.
In the Select a Template pane, scroll down (if necessary) and click the key next to the Other folder.
The Other folder opens.
From the Other folder, select Solaris Cluster Agent Builder and click Next.
The Cluster Agent module for Java Studio Enterprise starts. The first New Wizard - Solaris Cluster Agent Builder screen appears.

Using the Cluster Agent Module

Use the Cluster Agent module as you would the Agent Builder software. The interfaces are identical. For example, the following figures show that the Create screen in the Agent Builder software and the first New Wizard - Solaris Cluster Agent Builder screen in the Cluster Agent module contain the same fields and selections.

Differences Between the Cluster Agent Module and Agent Builder

Despite the similarities between the Cluster Agent module and Agent Builder, minor differences exist:

In the Cluster Agent module, the resource type is created and configured only after you click Finish on the second New Wizard - Solaris Cluster Agent Builder screen. The resource type is not created when you click Next on the first New Wizard - Solaris Cluster Agent Builder screen.

In Agent Builder, the resource type is immediately created when you click Create on the Create screen. In addition, the resource type is immediately configured when you click Configure on the Configure screen.
The information that appears in the Output Log area in Agent Builder appears in a separate window in the Java Studio Enterprise product.
