Add an Agent Task
Add an agent task to an agent to run another agent. By running multiple agents in sequence, you can use the output from one agent as the input to another agent. You can also use multiple agents that interact with each other using data retrieved from different data sources. This removes the need to join databases using IBM® Cognos® Framework Manager.
For more information, see Example - Adding an Agent Task.
You can also add other types of tasks.
Before you begin
Before you add any type of task, you must specify an event condition.

click Use an item and drag an item from the source tab
or from the data
