This section describes the UI Builder agent.

The UI Builder agent receives HTTP requests from client applications and responds with an HTML page that can be built from the Analysis agent.

This Agent provisions the creation of customized user interfaces without the HTML code. With the UI Builder agent and UI Builder components, you can create HTML pages to be viewed in a Web browser. To view a page created using UI Builder you must log in with a valid user having write access to the UI Builder.

The agent produces the UI Cycle UDR, which contains both request and response fields. The request fields of the UDR include the header, method, body, and client resource URI. After the Analysis agent has processed the request, the UI Builder agent receives the UI Cycle UDR back, which includes the original request as well as the response.
