• Any number of Subagents can be selected to be part of a Subagent Cluster.
• The selection includes to specify the Scheduling Mode being one of fixed-priority or round-robin:
  • fixed-priority: execute jobs with the first Subagent and switch to the next Subagent only if the first Subagent becomes unavailable (active-passive cluster).
  • round-robin: execute each next job on the next Subagent (active-active cluster).

The JS7 - Agent Installation On Premises and JS7 - Agent Installation for Docker Containers are the same for Cluster Agents and for Standalone Agents.

• An Agent Cluster and its Subagent Clusters can be used only after deployment to a Controller.
• Changes to an Agent Cluster, for example if the Director Agent's URL is changed or if a Subagent is added or dropped, require to be deployed.
• Deployment of an Agent Cluster includes to deploy any Subagent Clusters configured for the Agent Cluster. However, Subagent Clusters can be deployed individually, see chapter: Deploy Subagent Cluster.

Subagent Clusters are situated in the Functional Layer and include specification of logical clusters that make use of Subagents.

Clusters

For the list view and card view of Subagent Clusters when the checkboxes available with each Subagent Cluster are checked then buttons for the following bulk operations become available:

• Revoke: The Subagent Cluster is revoked from the Controller, i.e. the deployment is undone. The definition of the cluster remains in place and can later on be deployed once again.
• Delete: The Subagent Cluster is deleted from the Controller and from the JS7 inventory. This operation cannot be undone.
• Deploy: The Subagent Cluster is forwarded to the Controller and can be used for assignments assigned to jobs.

• In the left panel the list of Subagents is available and can be dragged & dropped to the middle panel.
• The middle panel holds a drop area to which a Subagent can be dragged & dropped.
  
  

With the first Subagent being added to the cluster the middle panel offers additional drag & drop areas:

• A Subagent Cluster can be used only after deployment to a Controller.
• Changes to an a Subagent Cluster require to be deployed, for example if a Subagent is added or removed from a cluster, require to be deployed.
• Deployment of Subagent Clusters can be performed individually and from bulk operations, see chapter: Bulk Operations on Subagent Clusters.
• When deploying an Agent Cluster then this includes to deploy any available Subagent Clusters, see chapter: Deploy Agent Cluster.

...

• Users can apply the Search & Replace function for Agent assignments in a workflow that is available from the JS7 - Workflow Editor.
• Users can apply the JS7 - Inventory Search function to replace Agent assignments across workflows.
• Modified workflows have to be deployed to a Controller to make such changes effective.
