Service and connector assignment for Secure Agent groups

Service
and connector
assignment for Secure Agent groups

Your organization can enable and disable specific
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
and connectors that your organization is licensed to use, for a Secure Agent group.
You can perform the following actions:
Enable or disable
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
for a Secure Agent group.
You can enable services such as
Data Integration
or
Application Integration
when you want the agents in the group to run the tasks, processes, and product features associated with the service. By default, when you create a Secure Agent group, all services and connectors that your organization is licensed to use are disabled. When you enable a service, the service starts on each agent in the Secure Agent group.
Some services require other services or connectors. If you enable a service that requires other services,
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
automatically enables the required services. For example, you enable
Data Quality
on a Secure Agent group.
Data Quality
requires
Data Integration
. When you enable
Data Quality
,
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
automatically enables
Data Integration
as well.
Disable services when you do not want the agents in the group to run the tasks, processes, or product features associated with the service. When you disable a service, the service stops on each agent in the Secure Agent group. Any task, process, or product feature that uses the Secure Agent group as the runtime environment no longer runs.
Enable or disable connectors for a Secure Agent group.
You can enable specific connectors when you want the agents in the group to be able to communicate with cloud and on-premise applications, platforms, databases and flat files. When you enable a connector, all agents in the group download the packages associated with the connector.
Disable connectors when you do not want the agents in the group to download the packages associated with the connectors. When you disable a connector, any connection that uses the Secure Agent group as the runtime environment no longer runs.
Enable or disable additional services for a Secure Agent group.
You can enable or disable additional services such as Self-Hosted Git Repo or EDC Integration.
You can also enable or disable Secure Agent services for individual Secure Agents within the Secure Agent group. For more information, see Stopping and starting services on a Secure Agent.
For more information about Secure Agent services, see
Secure Agent Services
.
Enable or disable services
and connectors
for a Secure Agent group on the
Runtime Environments
page:
The Runtime Environments page shows all runtime environments including the Hosted Agent and all Secure Agent groups. If you expand a group, you can see the agent details including the agent version, status, and last updated date and time.
After you make service assignments for a Secure Agent group, you might add or remove agents. When you add a Secure Agent to a group, the agent inherits the service assignments of the group that you add it to.

Example

Your organization uses
Data Integration
and has licenses for mass ingestion and for Enterprise Data Catalog data discovery. The organization uses the following Secure Agent groups:
  • Group 1: Secure Agent 1, Secure Agent 2 , Secure Agent 3
  • Group 2: Secure Agent 4
  • Group 3: Secure Agent 5
By default, users in your organization can select any group as the runtime environment for any connection or any task, including
file ingestion
tasks. An administrator can also select any group as the runtime environment for integration with Enterprise Data Catalog.
To balance the load across Secure Agent groups, you want might want to reserve Group 1 for
Data Integration
tasks except
file ingestion
tasks, Group 2 for
file ingestion
tasks, and Group 3 for data catalog discovery.
Therefore, you enable and disable the following Secure Agent services:
Secure Agent Group
Enabled Services
Disabled Services
Group 1
Data Integration Server
Mass Ingestion, EDC Search Agent
Group 2
Mass Ingestion
Data Integration Server, EDC Search Agent
Group 3
EDC Search Agent
Data Integration Server, Mass Ingestion
To avoid task and feature failures, you must also verify the following settings:
  • All
    Data Integration
    tasks except
    file ingestion
    tasks use Group 1 as the runtime environment. All connections that these tasks use also use Group 1 as the runtime environment.
  • All
    file ingestion
    tasks use Group 2 as the runtime environment. All connections that these tasks use also use Group 2 as the runtime environment.
  • On the
    Organization
    page in
    Administrator
    , the Enterprise Data Catalog integration properties use Group 3 as the runtime environment.
