Shared Secure Agent groups

If you are the administrator of a parent organization, you can share a Secure Agent group with sub-organizations. When you share a Secure Agent group, all of the sub-organizations can run data integration or ingestion and replication jobs on the Secure Agents within the group.

Share a Secure Agent group when all agents in the group run only one of the following services: the Data Integration Server service (for Data Integration jobs), Mass Ingestion service (for file ingestion and replication jobs), or Database Ingestion agent service (for application ingestion and replication jobs and database ingestion and replication jobs). For other agent services, you cannot run jobs on a shared Secure Agent group.

Share a Secure Agent group to optimize the use of available Secure Agent resources. For example, your organization contains separate sub-organizations for departments in different time zones. Each sub-organization runs data integration tasks at different times of the day. If you create one Secure Agent group for each sub-organization, some Secure Agent groups might be used heavily at certain times of the day while others remain idle. To distribute the tasks more evenly, add the Secure Agents to a Secure Agent group, and share the Secure Agent group with the sub-organizations.

When you share a Secure Agent group, the group appears on the

Runtime Environments

page in all sub-organizations. The sub-organization administrators cannot view the Secure Agents within the group. They cannot perform management tasks on the group such as adding or deleting Secure Agents, renaming, deleting, or unsharing the group, or changing the group permissions.

When a user in the sub-organization creates a connection or task, the user can select the shared Secure Agent group as the runtime environment.

Good morning Team, I just ran a CMI-Files job using a shared Secure Agent which is working. Could you please confirm in the NOTE if only supported for Data Integration service. Thank You.

We’re happy to let you know that we addressed your feedback in the documentation.

Thanks,

Hi Jacky,
You can use a shared Secure Agent for Mass Ingestion Files. We wanted to let you know that the doc updates are in progress, and we plan to complete them as soon as possible. We’ll update the comment thread as soon as the updates are published.
Thanks, Informatica Documentation Team.

Can you please update the note section above to reflect the latest update on the shared agent group support for other IDMC services such as data profiling, data quality and data validation etc? The current restriction mentioned above for the data integration and mass ingestion files only are misleading and I'm getting mixed messages.

Hi Fred,

Thanks for reaching out! We're currently checking on this with our development team and will get back to you.
