Computing resources

Computing resources are an operating system or application interface that use IBM® Cognos® Command Center agents to run automation tasks.

Scripts, plug-in tasks, executable files, or specific applications are associated to each computing resource type.

Click the Computing Resources tab in an ecosystem editor.

You can add a computing resource with the add icon add icon or view and edit an existing one by selecting a computing resource name in the list.

For new computing resources, enter a name and select a resource type. The resource type defines the category of computing resource that is available for your process tasks. The default type for IBM Cognos Command Center is Host; this defines a basic agent that runs scripts and executable files on the host operating system. Other available resource types depend on your particular IBM Cognos Command Center installation and installed task plug-ins.
