Description
Resolution:
Agent is just a COM server that bridges between rv and Siebel client or Siebel server. And multiple Agents are not run as a distributed group. There is no correlation between Agents on different Siebel Servers other than using the same subject to talk to the Publisher. Each Agent request is independent of each other even they all talk to the same group of publishers. If an Agent fails on 1 machine, the other one won't be affected since it won't even know about the existence of it. Agent is just sending a pub request (using a normal rv msg) on behalf of the Siebel server and waits for any active pub to finish the job. Only if the serving Publisher dies will it have effects on both Agents.
