Monitoring TEA Agent Groups
BMC Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agents are associated with a specific Agent Group during installation. For information about installing and registering TEA Agents, see Performing-the-TEA-Agent-installation.
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 by defining blackout periods and scripts to run on the Agent Group.
For load balancing, a script is run on one Agent in an Agent Group. If several scripts are 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.
