The Agents function in the same way as their original counterparts with a few small differences, the main one being that the automatic batch scale agents have a new storage
The Batch Scaling feature in PE consists of the following new agents:
File Agent (Collection).
Inter-WF Agents (Collection and Forwarding).
Duplicate UDR Detection Agent.
Aggregation Agent.
The current documents for each of these agents are linked below.
These agents differ from their corresponding “standard” agents:
The transactions are stored in Kafka.
The backend working storage is Kafka.
Workflows containing these agents can be scaled without any configuration changes. The system handles the re-balancing of which workflow works against which partition.
Note!
You cannot mix standard agents with scaling agents in the same workflow. Workflows with standard agents save the state in PE. Workflows with batch agents save the state in Kafka.
