Using The Gateway Network
Once the Gateway Network is up, and there is at least one Controller and one Agent configured, there are a variety of actions that can be performed on your agents in the form of Agent Tasks.
Agent Tasks
Agent Tasks involve performing a specific task to one or more specific Agents. The Agent Tasks page contains three tabs: Available Tasks which contain tasks waiting to run, Running and Scheduled Tasks which include any tasks that are currently running or scheduled to be run, and Task History, which provides a list of all previously run tasks. There are many different types of tasks to choose from, but they mostly involve doing Gateway level actions such as taking a Gateway backup or activating a license.
- To create an Agent task, go to the controller, and select the Configure section on the Gateway webpage, and scroll down to Enterprise Administration > Agent Tasks. This opens the Agent Tasks window. Click the Create new Gateway Task link to create an agent task.

- Select a task and press Next.

- Tasks can then be scheduled to run in a couple of different ways depending on your needs. You can
- Execute the task immediately
- Execute the task one time at a certain time, or after a certain period of time
- Schedule the task to run multiple times on a schedule
- Save the task to run manually at a later time.
- The EAM Wizard will guide you through setting up your task. Lastly, a Task Summary window will appear, and if you're ready to go, click Finish. Your task will be submitted according to the schedule type you defined.
