TRANSIENT - UAG configuration option
Description
The TRANSIENT option specifies whether to register the Agent as a Transient Agent or a regular, persistent Agent.
A Transient Agent will be deleted or decommissioned when it shuts down or goes offline. Transient Agents are suspended from any Agent Clusters that they may belong to.
You can override this option through a UBROKER command line argument or environment variable. See UAG_TRANSIENT - UBROKER Configuration Option.
If a Transient Agent is referenced in any task definitions, the dynamic delete will fail. It should be understood that Transient Agents should never be specified directly in any task definition. They are designed to accept work via an Agent Cluster, so when configuring a Universal Agent to operate in a containerized environment, you should ensure that the Agent registers with one or more Agent Clusters via the AGENT_CLUSTERS UAG configuration option.
