Agent Types and Features

rogerbiel@knozall.com () — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:06:00 GMT

An AutomationWizard installation consists of 2 types of agents; the Scripting Agent (AS5) or Workstation Agent (AW5)
When installing the Windows awagent.exe either the Scripting Agent (AS5) or Workstation Agent (AW5) serial number may be used This will determine its Agent Type NetWare server agents require the Scripting Agent (AS5) serial number The functions available when using the Workstation Agent (AW5) are restricted and my not cannot execute scripts independently Functions that are not available on the Workstation Agent or NetWare Agent include FTP and RAS commands
The Management Console (AM5) may only be installed on a windows workstation that has a Scripting Agent (AS5), this is done automatically by the installation program

Backward Compatibility

AutomationWizard is a multi-platform version of our NLMerlin and NLMAutoPro and scripts written for them are compatible with AutomationWizard with only a few caveats
The binary header is no longer required and should be removed, AutomationWizard scripts may now be edited with any ASCII text editor We include a freeware application called NoteTab with has been customized to aid in scripting
NLMerlin and NLMAutoPro DOS workstation commands are replaced by more sophisticated windows controls
NLMerlin and NLMAutoPro communicated with agents using IPX but AutomationWizard uses TCP/IP protocol for more accessibility, even over the Internet

Installation Program

The installation of AutomationWizard is done entirely with AutomationWizard scripts This is done to demonstrate some of the features and power of AutomationWizard as well as testing many of its functions in a real world application A copy of the installation scripts are included in the examples directory when the Management Console is installed
During the installation we hide the DOS windows that are generated by the procedures unless you select to display the windows from the install menu
If any errors are detected during the installation you will be prompted to email them to technical support so we may improve the scripts The AutomationWizard installation currently consists of 11 specialized scripts
