Automate Business Processes with Agents
Content authors can create agents that deliver analyses, dashboards, and briefing books to targeted audiences on-demand or on a regular schedule.
Create Agents to Deliver Content
You can create agents that deliver analyses, dashboard pages, and briefing books to specific recipients and subscribers. These agents can deliver content on-demand or on a regular schedule.
Schedule an Agent to Deliver Content Directly from an Analysis
You can set up an agent to deliver content directly from an analysis. When you create an agent in this way, Oracle Analytics sets the Content property for you and creates a delivery condition for the agent to help you get started.
- Navigate to the analysis in the catalog.
- Click the More action menu, and select Schedule.
- Further define the agent, as required.
Disable and Enable the Schedule for an Agent
You can temporarily disable (and then enable) an agent's schedule.
Disabling an agent's schedule stops the agent from running on its defined schedule. It doesn’t stop you from running it by other means, for example, by the Run Agent Now button in the agent editor.
- On the Classic Home page, click Catalog and navigate to the agent whose schedule you want to disable or enable.
- Click the More action menu, and select Disable Schedule to disable the agent's schedule.
- Click the More action menu, and select Enable Schedule to run the agent on schedule again.
You also can disable and enable an agent's schedule by using the Enabled box in the Schedule tab of the agent editor.
Subscribe to Agents
Subscribe to an agent if you want to receive the most up-to-date information generated by the agent. You can only subscribe to agents if the owner allows you to do so.
