The steps to create and implement an agent are described by example in later chapters.
Decide whether to implement the agent entry points using C++ code, scripts, or a combination of the two.
See Considerations for using C++ or script entry points.
See Creating entry points in C++.
See Creating entry points in scripts.
Build the agent, create required files, and place the agent in specific directories.
The types file contains definitions of resource types that come bundled with VCS. The file name is:
See Creating the type definition file for a custom agent.
A custom resource type definition should be placed in a file that specifies the name of the custom resource. for example, MyResourceTypesor OracleTypes..cf. This file is referenced as an "include" statement in the configuration file, main
.cf.
For more information about the resource type definition, see
For building an agent, sample files are provided.
On UNIX systems, create a symbolic link called resource_typeAgent to the Script50Agent in the appropriate directory:
$VCS_HOME/bin/
resource_type.
Test the agent using the Agent Server utility or by defining the resource type in a configuration .
