Multiple Agents accessing Same database table
Hi,
Hi,
We have a scenario where an agent on multiple nodes is accessing same database table to process the case. How do we make sure one case is picked by only one agent for processing. How do we do exception handling in this case?
Thanks!

Is this an advanced agent or a standard agent?

Its an Advanced agent. But can you explain how do we handle it for Standard agents as well?
Thanks

If you are able to use a standard agent and queue up the items to be processed, the auto queue management functionality can be used to lock the queue items so only one agent can process the case at a time.

Thanks for your response. How do we do it in case of Advanced agents?

I'm not sure the best way to do it with an advanced agent. You would need to have a way to mark which ones have picked up and lock them. Maybe another developer can respond if they have addressed similar scenarios in their environment.

Hi, if you using pega 7.3 version there is an option in agent rule from where you can make the agent to run on only one node at a time.

Hi,
If we want to have the agent run on single node, In 7.3 we have Node classification option. But Actually My requirement is to run the agent on multiple nodes and they access same DB table.
