I need an Agent to run a Request Handler

Does anyone know how can I create an agent that runs a request handler? I know how to create agents and I know how to create a RH but how can I create an agent that runs a RH?we are running enterprise 9.1.3Background.In 9.13 you write an request handler when it is working you rewrite the front end to run the agent. There agent runs fine in development but fails in production. the Request Handler runs fine in both envionments.Pete Robertson

Message from Nair, Krishnankutty N. via eLink Maybe the gurus will chip in but an agent runs(spawns) its ownthread and executes what is in its execute method.Look in theagentcontroller code.It executes all outstanding agents based on aninternal five minute heartbeat.If you wanted to run a timed sequence of a request handlercouldn't you run it with a scheduler or at with the commandlike in a batch fileiexplore.exe http://yourlivelinky/livelink.exe?mymodule.myRHhandler-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Development Discussion[mailto:development@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 3:49 PMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: I need an Agent to run a Request HandlerI need an Agent to run a Request HandlerPosted by Robertson, Pete on 07/17/2006 04:47 PMDoes anyone know how can I create an agent that runs a request handler?I know how to create agents and I know how to create a RH but how can Icreate an agent that runs a RH?we are running enterprise 9.1.3Background.In 9.13 you write an request handler when it is working you rewrite thefront end to run the agent.

Hi Pete,are you trying to invoke a custom request handler with a custom change agent?sounds like you already have the agent that you want, it is just nor processing correctly in your production environment?are you sure it is configured to run? did you check the agentschedule table?donna

Thank you Donna,I did check the agent schedule table. I got a sched id from agentsequence, and set the schedule. I have the agents running in dev as agents and the agent kicks off, it never completes. When I run the code as a RH, the job completes.

Krishnankutty ;thanks for the clues re the agentcontroler.I dont know how to run a batch file from the batch processor.I will investigate.here is how I swap the front end code around to change from batch to RH processing./* for batch processingfunction Assoc Execute() Object prgCtx = .fprgctx Record r *//* for request handler processingfunction Dynamic Execute( Dynamic ctxIn, Dynamic ctxOut, Record r ) object prgctx = .prgsession() */

Hi Pete,hhhmm, i want to give you good advice here and i think you have several options, so i'm going to be a bit more inquisitive, if you don't mind.Am i understanding correctly that you want to run the same code from either a request handler or a change agent?? It will do the same processing, just the difference of being invoked real time or on a schedule?If that is the case, i would suggest that you move the heavy processing into utility scripts...then, you are using the RH execute and Change Agent Execute as the shell for invoking your processes.I noticed your posting to Krishna that you are simply modifying the prgCtx based on whether this is processed as RH or Change Agent...if you move this to utility scripts, you can pass in the prgCtx and another other needed args.The other benefit to this approach is that you are not maintaining duplicate code....If i have misunderstood what you are trying to do, please let me know and i will have another shot.thanks,donna
