Hello, I read the manual and user guide. This is not very clear to me.
How do you explain agent vs. process? Can I have one agent, but two processes?
There are three different types of process: consoles, agents, and worker processes.
In a typical configuration:
* There is one console process.
* An agent process on each load injector machine.
* Each agent process launches one or more worker processes.
Like I am currently using my default computer
That I run the console on, also as my agent. If I start another agent from another \
computer (and connect to the same console), then I have two agents.
So can I say agents are different computers logging on to the console?
Yes.
Also what would be the reason if I run two processes on the same agent with the same \
set of scripts? Why would I need to do that?
Usually a single worker process for each agent is sufficient. \
