Application agent

The Application agent brings applications online, takes them offline, and monitors their status. Use it to specify different executables for the online, offline, and monitor routines for different programs. The executables must exist locally on each node. You can use this agent to provide high availability for applications that do not have bundled, enterprise, or custom agents.

An application runs in the default context of root. Specify the user name to run an application in a user context.

You can monitor the application in the following ways:

This agent is WPAR-aware. The ContainerOpts resource type attribute for this type has a default value of 1 for RunInContainer and a default value of 0 for PassCInfo. Symantec recommends that you do not change these values. Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for more information.
