CDD Configuration Procedures : Configuring the Agent Classes Tab (All Object Managers)

Configuring the Agent Classes Tab (All Object Managers)
Various agent types are available depending on the object manager and on the add-ons used:
Query Agent: Used with Cache Manager only and available only if TIBCO BusinessEvents Event Stream Processing is used.
Monitoring and Management (shown as Monitoring & Management): Used only by the Monitoring and Management component. Do not add any agents of this class. See Chapter 6, BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management Configuration for more details.
When you choose an object manager in the New Cluster Configuration wizard, one agent class of each type available in your environment is provided ready for you to configure. The exception is the monitoring and management agent type, which requires a reference to other agent types you need to configure.
Using Collections
In the Agent Classes section (on the left) you see categories of collections. They contain the collections you configured at the Collections tab (see Configuring the Collections Tab (All Object Managers)). These can help you quickly configure an agent.
Rule Collections  are collections of rules in the project ontology. Select rule collections and individual rules as needed to define what rules will execute on this agent at runtime.
Destination Collections  are collections of destinations configured for channels in the project. Select destination collections and individual destinations as needed to define the agent’s listeners. (Query agents don’t have rule groups.)
Startup Functions and Shutdown Functions Collections  are collections of rule functions (as configured in the project ontology). Select function collections and individual functions as needed, to define which functions execute at engine startup and shutdown respectively. The order of the functions (including the order of functions in collections) is the order in which they execute at runtime.
To Add an Agent Class
You can begin by configuring classes provided by the wizard. You can rename the classes as desired. Then add more classes as needed.
