Overview

Use a Secure Agent group as the runtime environment when you need to access data on-premises or when you want to access data in a cloud computing services environment without using the Hosted Agent. When you select a Secure Agent group as the runtime environment for a connection or task, a Secure Agent within the group runs the tasks.

When you create a Secure Agent, it is added to its group by default. You can add multiple agents to one Secure Agent group. All agents within a group must be of the same type, for example, all agents that run within your network or all agents that run on Amazon EC2 machines.

Add multiple agents to a group to achieve the following goals:

  • Balance the workload across machines
  • Improve scalability for connections and tasks

If you need to access output files on the Secure Agent machine, you can view the job details to determine which Secure Agent ran the task. To view job details, open Monitor, select All Jobs and click the job name.
