The agent framework is a set of predefined functions compiled into the agent for each resource type. These functions include the ability to connect to the VCS engine and to understand the common configuration attributes, such as RestartLimit and MonitorInterval. When an agent's code is built in C++, the agent framework is compiled in the agent with an include statement. When an agent is built using script languages, such as shell or Perl, the ScriptAgent on UNIX or the DefaultAgent.dll on Windows provides the agent framework functions. The agent framework handles much of the complexity that need not concern the agent developer.
