Agents provide users with the ability to receive notifications when new material appears that match given criteria.
That is, material which has entered the ISYS arena that the user has not seen before.
Intelligent Agents provide the application developer with a choice of how to deliver the results to the users,
including push or pull, or a combination of both.
ISYS stores the agent data for each user in a separate folder. When designing your agent implementation, you will need to plan where this data is kept and how security is enforced. In most circumstances, it would be sufficient to create a basic folder hierarchy that contains a base folder with a sub-folder for each user. You then need to choose how to secure a user's agents, for example: NT Security or custom security using user information for a database. | |||||
