Automatically register agents to pools

Starting from HCL Workload Automation version 9.4 Fix Pack 4, you can automatically register dynamic agentsin pools by editing a file.

Starting from version 9.4 Fix Pack 1, you can automatically register dynamic agents in pools by editing the pools.properties file located in <TWS_home>/ITA/cpa/config.

The file is composed by a series of lines with a list of pools to which the agent will be automatically registered. To make the changes in this file effective on the agent, you must stop and start the agent.

Because an agent can encounter problems and is not able to register and go online, for example, if it does not find a pool defined in the system, there are options that can be used in the pools.properties file to allow the agent to go online even if some pools are not defined.

This alternative way of registering dynamic agents to a pool can be useful when you need to quickly add more than one agent to a pool, or when you want to associate multiple pools to a dynamic agent.
