| Select All |
Selects all Agents in the list, so that actions will be applied
to all of them. |
| Enable |
Enables the selected Agent(s). |
| Disable |

| Allocate Package |
Allocates any of the registered IncrediBuild extension packages to the
selected Agent(s). |
| Deallocate Package |
Deallocates any of the IncrediBuild
extension packages currently allocated to the selected Agent(s)
from this Agent. |
| Configure Packages... |

Configuration tool window, which allows control over extension
package allocations. |
| Description... |
Sets a description line that will appear beneath the Agent
name, to help identify this Agent. |
| Build Priority... |
Sets the priority that will be assigned to builds started by
the Agent. The higher their priority, the more resources Agents
will receive when initiating distributed builds in environments
with limited resources. Take a 20-Agent environment for example. If
2 Agents, one with "Normal" Build Priority and the other with
"Above Normal" both start a build, the "Above normal" Agent will
receive twice as much computing power in comparison to the other
Agent. Assuming all Agents have the same hardware and availability,
this would mean that the higher priority Agent will be employing 12
remote Agents and the other Agent only 6. |
| Build Group... |
Configures the build
group this Agent belongs to. |
| Assignment Priority... |
Sets the priority given to this Agent by the Coordinator when
considering which remote Agents to assign to a running build.
Agents with a higher value will be assigned more often to builds.
For more information, see this section. |
| Remote Task Priority... |
Sets the process priority this Agent will assign task processes
serving builds started by other Agents. |
| Logging level |
Sets the logging level currently enabled for the Agent. This
value should be set to "Minimal" unless otherwise requested by the
Xoreax Support team. |
| File Cache->Resize... |
Allows setting a new size for the selected Agent(s)' file
caches. |
| File Cache->Clear Resize Recommendation |
If an "Increase file cache size" recommendation still appears
for the selected Agent(s) after resizing the file cache, select
this option to hide the recommendation. |
| File Cache->Clear Contents |
Clears the selected Agent(s)' file cache contents. |
| Allow Disable |
Controls the Agent's ability to enter "Disabled" mode. Agents
with this option set to "No" will always remain in the "Enabled"
state. |
| Allow Remote Administration |
When enabled, the Agent will be able to perform certain
administrative operations on the
Coordinator service such as disabling and enabling Agents. |
| Update Version... |
Updates an IncrediBuild Agent's version to the one installed on
the Coordinator machine. This option will only be available for
Agents with incompatible versions. |
| Send Message... |
Allows sending a text message to the selected Agent(s). The
message will appear as a pop-up box on the Agent machine's screen.
Note that for an Agent to accept a message from the Coordinator
application a user must be logged in and the IncrediBuild tray-icon
display must be running. |
| Configure for Windows XP Firewall |
If the selected Agent(s) is running Windows XP Firewall, this
option will open communication ports required for that Agent's
operation. |
| Test Connection |

latter, only builds that were spawned from the MSVC IDE will be
taken into account. |
