Idea:

During design-time, it is currently possible (and very useful) to run an agent by right-clicking on the agent in the design listing view and selecting Run.

Problem is, oftentimes an agent is designed to be run on the server. It would be nice to have a "Run On Server" option which triggers a 'scheduled' run immediately.

Comment: Indeed. FWIW, until this is implemented, I use these work-arounds.

Comment: Good one Craig. Another is to run a console command directly to Agent Manager:

Tell Amgr Run "database.nsf" 'agentnameOrAlias'

Using double quotes for the first parameter and single quotes for the second parameter is important.

Comment: Well now I slept on it, a complete solution would be:

1. Run on Server
2. Kill (if currently running)
3. Status indicator to show if currently running

First two actions issues commands directly to AMGR if user is allowed to run console commands. As pointed out by David Leedy, it's important for proper scheduled emulation that the code runs under the AMGR thread, with all the trappings (script timeouts, security, 'run as' settings etc).

IMHO, a complete solution will be, if combined with { Link } :)
