Automation Agent without an Event

[MURTHYKO]

Dear Pals,

Is there a way to create an automation agent without a event? If so, how does it? (Some thing like an user action)

Cheers,

Re: Automation Agent without an Event

In OTM you have the ability to define an automation agent without any Agent Event defined and then to configure that automation agent to be initiated from the UI Actions e.g. create a shipment automation agent that can be run from the shipment manager Actions by the user.

Once you have created your automation agent, see Config. and Admin > User Config > Actions Manager to create the link between the Action and the automation agent.

Re-post if you need more info.

Vidya,

1) Create an agent without an event and add some agent actions to that.
2) Then define an action in "Configuration and Administration > User Configuration > Actions Manager" and add the automation agent created in step 1 by selecting respective agent action type in that.
3) attach the action defined in step 2 to the respective screen set actions.

This is one way of running automation agent manually. :-)

Re: Automation Agent without an Event

Hi Murthyko,

I have created an agent with any event in that. The Agent intention is, once order release is created then automatically shipment has to built.

For that, I have mentioned Agent Type is ORDER_RELEASE and in the actions I have given BUID SHIPMENT and NOTIFY CONTACT.

In this case,

1. In the Actions Manager, which LABEL and Action Definition Id I need to select?
2. Can you please explain this step. "attach the action defined in step 2 to the respective screen set actions." Where I need to attach the actions in the screensets?

Please see the attachement for more information.

Please help me in this.

Thank you.
Sunny.

Hi Sunny,

As per the requirement i understand you need to build a buy shipment automatically once your order release is created...for this you just need to add Order Release Created Event in the agent header which you have created and you don't need to create action from action manager as this would require manually intervention.

Thanks,
Divya.
