Undercover agents
An undercover agent is started by an event. For example, when a message event is received from an external system, an undercover agent is needed to start the appropriate service in response to the message.
- processes
- web services that you create
- messages that you post to the JMS listener
When an undercover agent runs, it starts a service or process in response to the event.
When you use message event or a content event, you must attach an undercover agent to the event. For example, when a message event is received from an external system, an undercover agent is needed to trigger the message event in a process in response to the message.
If you want to run the startBpdWithName application programming interface
(API) to start a process instance inside an undercover agent, set the
<enable-start-bpd-from-uca>
property to true in the
100Custom.xml file or another override file. Restart the product, and check the
TeamworksConfiguration.running.xml file to ensure that the setting has the
appropriate value. The property is set to false by default, and if you don't change it, you might
have errors that prevent the process from starting.
