Agent Settings Dialog - Agent->Preferences Page

The Agent->General page contains advanced Settings for the IncrediBuild Agent:

System Start-up

On System Startup...

Determines whether the Agent will become enabled when the machine boots up. The following options are available:
1. Enable Agent - Agent will always start off in the "Enabled" status.
2. Disable Agent - Agent will always start off in the "Disabled" status.
3. Keep last Agent State - Agent will start off in the status that was active in the last system shut-down.

Enable Agent Scheduling

Allows the Agent to be automatically enabled and disabled in pre-defined hours. This can be useful, for example, for enabling the Agent outside standard work hours.

Screen Saver

Enable screen saver detection

Determines whether the Agent will detect screen saver activity. When this feature is used, screen saver CPU activity will be considered idle CPU activity, improving the Agent's chances of getting assigned to remote builds. Furthermore, the following changes in behavior will take effect during screen saver activity:
      - Tasks (Compilation and others) running on this Agent will always use a high priority thread, improving performance.
      - A "Screen saver running" indication will appear for that Agent in the Coordinator Monitor.
Important note: On some versions of Windows NT, screen saver activity detection may be unreliable. See the "Release Notes" document in the start menu for more information.

Enable Agent while screen saver is running

Determines whether the Agent will automatically become enabled when the screen saver starts, even if the Agent is disabled. When the screen saver activity stops, the Agent will resume its "Disabled" status. This option is available only when the "Enable screen saver detection" option is selected.

Version Update

Ask for a user confirmation before a remotely initiated version update is performed

Check this option to specify that version updates will only be run after manual confirmation. It is recommended to leave this option unchecked.

MS Windows Firewall

Ignore MS Windows Firewall related messages

Check this option to prevent IncrediBuild from suggesting to open IncrediBuild ports in MS Windows Firewall on this machine.
