Viewing a list of TEA Agent Groups
During BMC Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent installation, you associate each agent with a specific Agent Group.
Agent Groups are clusters of TEA Agents, which are grouped for load balancing and high availability, and according to your organization's needs. Business Services and Execution Plans are associated with Agent Groups and define blackout periods. Execution Plans also specify scripts to run on the Agent Group. For load balancing, a script in an Execution Plan runs on one Agent in an Agent Group. If several scripts run on the same Agent Group, the scripts are distributed evenly across the Agent Group. In this way, the Agent Group provides high availability support for failover and failback operations.
Up to 120 Execution Plans can run on a single active TEA Agent.
