Defining a new Livelink agent - issues

Aruna_Tata

Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction for how to define a new livelink agent? I've done the following so far:

1. Orphaned $LLAgent. -> LLAgentObjects -> Agents into my new module

2. Created a new child called "TestAgent".

3. Gave it a unique AgentID (1234), set fEnabled = True

4. Changed the "Execute" function to write "Test 123" to a file.

5. Ran _Init() for the new agent. Ran BuildOSpace to register it with the agents subsystem.

6. Set "RunWithoutLogin=True" in opentext.ini

7. Closed and reopened Builder.

However when I try to run it from "....agent.runagent&agent_list={'1234'}, it does not do anything. It does not even go to this particular agent. Instead it runs every other agent defined.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!!

It looks very similar to the cheat sheet I developed a long time back.Sorry havenot need to develop agents for some time now but if you can cross check all these in this document

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/CreateMyAgent.doc?func=doc.Fetch&nodeid=17380366&docTitle=CreateMyAgent.doc

Is your agent inserted into the agentschedule table

Select * from agentschedule where agentid=”youragentid”

Also in the server you are debugging the loader section should allow agents Also refrain from using 1234 as your agentid as 3rd party developers you are supposed to follow a certain number range. Check the Oscript registry for guidelines.

You should also check for your registered agent the nexttime value because that is how the thread determines when to run the outstanding ones when it gets to it ultimately.

Thanks Appu. I believe I used the same cheat sheet to come this far :-)

How do I check the loader section? I am assuming agents are allowed since it runs the others (3001, 3601 etc). It currently looks like this:

[loader]

load=sockserv;javaserver;agents;notify;wfagent

load_relagent=relagent

"1234" was just an example. I had used "2200" for my agentid. I am not aware of the restriction on AgentIDs. How do I check the Oscript Registry?

Also, i don't see the agent in the agentschedule table. Do I need to run something else to set it there?

Yes if it is not on the table even though your object is there Livelink will not run it.
The customagent module of Livelink is the most easy way to do this with a GUI.You will find it here

BTW Hans stoop can explain a lot of problems once you complete the rudimentaries

If you don’t want the GUI to insert your schedule then there is just an insert statement that you run
I can send you that,for oracle it uses a sequence and for sqlserver some kind of identity things let me know which
Database it is being developed against

The agent registry is here

even though I now do not have access to it.

To be safe pick an agent after 10000.

I am attaching a better cheat sheet with stuff I lerned later

Thanks a lot Appu. This really helped. We are using Oracle DB - can you send me the insert statements for that?

Again, thanks for all your help!

Check the link of my cheat document here I have updated it and you should not blame me for the statement .You will somehow have to create a program session so you can do the CAPI.Exec.I use a utils object to do that.

Appu,

I am late here but many many thanks for all your help!! I have a working agent now thanks to the details you gave me.

Another resource I found in communities which also proved very helpful:

I am happy I contributed. I learned all of that form Hans’s module and I had the good fortune of working with JWS and was taught by Howard Pell as well

I do not get to do any Oscript nowadays so I jump when I get a chance to help people. Now that you have mastered it continue helping others

BTW the Ryan Long very smart guy… way was long documented and I left a link to his contribution John Shoun of Nortel in my document .I am told that CS10 has better agent code

But have not had a need to mess with it though.
