3.3.1 Opening the Resources Monitor
Now that you have installed an Orchestrate Server and launched the PlateSpin Orchestrate
Development Client, you can begin to create resource accounts.
1 Open the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client and click Resources to open the Resources
Monitor in the Workspace panel of the Development Client.
From this monitor, you can see the resources that are connected to the server and what they are
doing in the grid.
If an agent is installed but has not been registered (that is, no account is created for it), it attempts a
server login every 90 seconds. If this is the case (as in the figure above), the Resource Registration
icon has a “flag up”
status, meaning that an agent is waiting to register. If the icon has a “flag
down” status, either no PlateSpin Orchestrate Agents have been installed in the network or all
active agents are logged in, so none are waiting to register.
You can use the Development Client to register a resource automatically (see “Automatically
Registering a Resource” on page 105 ) or to register a resource manually (see “Manually Registering
a Resource” on page 105 ). You can also select which agents can log in to create accounts (see
Section 3.3.4, “Selecting a Resource for Manual Registration,” on page 109 ).
The Resources Monitor has many features to help you manage resources when they are registered,
including the jobs and joblets assigned to individual resources. For more detailed information about
the Resources Monitor, see “Monitoring Server Resources” in the
PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0
