[Anthill-pro] Rerun a job on a specific platform

[Baker, Andrew]

I was thinking I would use a variable filter, but is there a way to
specify a hostname without specifying an environment variable on each
agent with its name to match?  If so, how?

For example, how do you add a ' job to run on an agent that has the file
"example.jar"'
Thanks.

Andrew,



Yes, creating a workflow for each job would allow you to run each job
independently.



If you want to run a job on a specfic machine, my suggestion would be to
use
an agent filter.  An agent filter allows the program to choose an agent
based on information that you specify.



When configuring a job, click on the agent filters tab.  Here you have
the
option of choosing Any Agent, Fixed Agent, or Variable Driven.



Any agent will choose any agent that is available.

Fixed agent will allow you to choose a specific agent.

Variable Driven will allow you to choose an agent based on criteria you
specify.  Criteria is specified on an equal/is present basis.

For example, if you need a job to run on an agent that has the file "
example.jar", you could specify that file, and the only agents that
would be
made available would have that file.





This all depends on how your agent and project is configured.  When you
create the project where these jobs will be located, you also specify
what
environment that project will be using.  Make sure your agent(s) have
rights
to that environment, or else you will not be able to select them.





I hope this answers your question.  If you have any more, please feel
free
to ask.



Thank you,

Steve
