License Category

The License Category that should be used by the agent can be selected here. Allowed values are Production and Test, depending on whether the agent runs in a production or non-production environment.

If your AE system runs with encryption, you can specify IP addresses (separated by semicolons) from which the agent accepts non-encrypted connections.

Communication to components such as the Job Messenger, Event Monitors (BS2000, z/OS) or the Output Collector (NSK) takes place without encryption. By default, the agent accepts non-encrypted messages from the local host (127.0.0.1) and its own IP address.

If Event Monitors on z/OS are used in LPARs on different computers, you must specify the relevant IP addresses here.

Releasing individual IP addresses is only reasonable if the Automation Engine should always reject login attempts of former agent versions (see "Compatibility").

The settings that are defined here are required for the connection between the agent and a ServiceManager. Agents can so start directly via the UserInterface (System Overview) or by using the script element MODIFY_SYSTEM.

All values will automatically be replaced if the search for a corresponding ServiceManager service was successful. This search can be opened by using the"Refresh ServiceManager Scan" command in the System Overview's context menu. The default port number 8871 is used for the scan unless a different specification is provided in the setting SMGR_PORT_RANGE of the variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS.

Links the agent with the ServiceManager.

This specification is automatically set if the ServiceManager scan for the agent was successful. With this option being deactivated, you can no longer start the agent via the System Overview nor by using MODIFY_SYSTEM.
