IBM Workload Automation Agent

IBM® Workload Automation provides leading-edge solutions to problems in production workload management. It can automate, plan, and control the processing of your enterprise's entire production workload. In the network managed by IBM Workload Automation, the Agent (Dynamic Agent component) is the installed component that enables jobs and job streams to be run on a computer defined as a workstation in the Workload Automation database.
