ODI 11g and ODI 12c: What’s an Agent?
What Is an Agent?
An agent is a Java process that's usually located on the server and listens to a port for incoming requests. It runs the requested scenario, reverse-engineers requested datastores, etc.
When a job submitted through ODI Studio GUI or through the startscen.sh agent gets scenario from the work repository and topology definitions from master repository, it combines and converts them into a runnable job, usually consisting of more than one code block. Then, it sends code blocks to destination environments, which may be DB servers, file servers, Hadoop name nodes, etc. Finally, the agent gets job statuses from these environments and writes into work repository tables for us to see from the Operator tab of ODI Studio.
