The IncrediBuild Agent Tray-Icon Display
Once logged in to your computer, you will see the Agent tray-icon
display
in the tray-icon pane
on the lower-right-hand corner of your screen. A tooltip will be
shown when holding the mouse pointer directly above the icon,
indicating any build activity taking place as well as the status of
the Agent's connection to the Coordinator.
Right-clicking on the tray-icon display will display the Agent
menu, with the following options:
- Update Version... - This option will appear when a more
recent version is installed on the Coordinator machine. Select this
option to update the Agent's version.
- Build Monitor - Displays or closes the Build Monitor for the current (or last run)
build.
- Build History - Opens the Build History window, which lists previous
builds and allows you to view their output text and distributed
build progress.
- Build - Opens the Batch Build
dialog that allows Build, Rebuild and Clean operations to be
performed on solution, workspace and project files.
- Stop Build - Stops a currently running build. Note that
this applies only to builds initiated from the local Agent, and not
to compilation tasks being performed for a remote Agent.
- Xoreax on the Web - Provides access to version updates,
the IncrediBuild feedback form and other online features.
- Help - Customer-support related options, and access to
this manual.
- Contact Support - Opens up a new web browser page
showing the Xoreax Support Center.
- Agent Settings - Opens the Agent Settings dialog.
- Coordinator Monitor - Opens the Coordinator Monitor (on Agent
machines this will open in read-only mode).
- Disable/Enable Agent - Allows/disallows participation of
the local Agent in distributed builds initiated by remote Agents.
When disabled, the Agent tray-icon display will be shown with a
diagonal red line across it to indicate its status.
Note that it is possible to prevent specific Agents from entering
"Disabled" mode using the Coordinator application's Allow Disable feature.
- Exit - Removes the tray-icon display. Note that this
does not stop the Agent service, and the IncrediBuild Agent will
continue to function on this machine.
Note: If you do not see the Agent
tray-icon display in the tray-icon pane, choose 'IncrediBuild
Agent' from the Xoreax folder in the Start menu.
