Implementation Overview for the Avaloq Agent

Different components are required to integrate Automic Automation and your Avaloq solution so that you can trigger and monitor Avaloq jobs from your Automic Automation system.

These are the steps you have to follow for the integration:

Download the Avaloq Agent Installation Package

You can download the relevant Agent installation package from our download center at https://docs.automic.com/documentation or from our marketplace at https://marketplace.automic.com/.

For more information, see Downloads and Marketplace.

Install the Avaloq Agent

After downloading the relevant installation package, you have to install the Agent so that you can establish the communication between the two systems.

Important!

Before installing the Agent, check the version compatibility information at compatibility matrix. For information about how to use the compatibility matrix, see Compatibility Information.

You can install the Agent manually or in a container. The containerized Agent installation refers to building and running a Docker image hosting Java Agents in a container.

Regardless of how you install the Agents, you can use them in on-premises Automic Automation systems as well as in an Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition system.

For more information about Agents and Packs see the Automic Automation documentation:

For more information on how to install the Agent for see Installing the Avaloq Agent.

Define and Start the Avaloq Agent

Once you have installed the Agent, you have to configure its INI file to cover your system's requirements, for example, the connection between the Agent and the Automation Engine instance. Then, you define the Agent object in AWI. There are definition pages that are common to all Agents and some that are Agent-specific.

The Agent definition allows you to configure the communication between the Automation Engine and the hosts where you want to issue the commands that you specify in Automic Automation Avaloq Jobs. The Agent starts the execution of these Jobs and makes both their monitoring and the corresponding reporting possible.

For more information, see Defining the Avaloq Agent.

Preparing Your System

After installing and configuring the Avaloq Agent, administrators must create and execute certain jobs that prepare the database and reset dependencies. Otherwise, the Automation Engine cannot take over scheduling operations or these operations can create conflicts with the Avaloq internal scheduler. For more information, see Preparatory Avaloq Jobs.

Establish the Connection to the Avaloq System

Now you have to make sure that the log in data required to establish the connection to the Avaloq system is available, otherwise you cannot create and execute Avaloq Jobs without leaving the Automic Web Interface.

To do so, you have to create and define Avaloq Connection objects. For more information, see Establishing the Connection to Avaloq.

Define Avaloq Jobs
