Using E-agent

The main toolbar is made up of eight buttons—New, Run, Delete, Refresh, Options, Logout, Suspend, and Help—that you use to manage your e-agent tasks. The e-agent main window displays all the tasks regardless of whether they are active or disabled, running or suspended. Rights permitting, you use the e-agent main window to add tasks, to define task settings, to schedule tasks, to run tasks manually, and/or to delete tasks.

ToolbarToolbar

E-agent has a toolbar to execute specific functions in e-agent. You use the buttons to perform various tasks.

New: You use this button to create a new e-agent task. You can have as many tasks as you choose as long as each task has a unique name.

Run: You use this button to execute a task immediately. This button ignores the schedule and runs the task.

Delete: You use this button to delete the selected task should you decide to discontinue use of the task.

Refresh: You use this button to update the tasks displayed.

Options: You use this button to access the settings for email, task engines, and the activity log.

Suspend: You use this button to suspend the database so it is not live. When the [Suspend] button is pressed tasks that are scheduled do not run. However, you are able to manually run a task when the database is suspended by highlighting the task in the list and clicking [Run].

Help: You use this button to access e-agent help.
