Scheduling background processes for publishing

A schedule record is required for every agent that runs in Service Manager. In order for a subscriber to receive dynamic data, an agent background processor must be running to process agent records. Publish and Subscribe requires two background agents, marquee and agent, to be running in order to display data in marquees or charts.

These background agents are set to read records at specified intervals.

There are two methods for running these agents:

  • Register them at startup.
  • Start and stop them during a session from the system.status.list form.
