Using DataCloud Agent
Jobs are scheduled and run using the DataCloud Agent through the Integration Manager console (powered by DataCloud). Log in to Integration Manager as an administrator or with the same user credentials used to register the agent.
Running Integrations with the Agent
You can configure specific integrations to run using the agent instead of running on the cloud. This gives the integrations access to files and databases from the system running the agent.
To configure an integration to run on the agent
1. Select the Templates tab in the Integration Manager console.
2. Create a new job template or select an existing one.
3. Set the Run on property from Cloud to Agent.
4. Create a new job config for the template.
5. Set the package, entry point, and enter any necessary parameters for the integration.
Once you have created your template and a configuration, you can set a schedule or use the Run Configuration Now /download/attachments/7503963/cloud_run_now.png?version=1&modificationDate=1372799956000&api=v2 button to execute the integration.
Note:  When you run a configuration, it executes on the configuration owner’s agent.

Tip:  The Status field indicates the health of the agent and whether it can accept any commands from the cloud. If this status is a Red “error” state, you will not be able to submit jobs until the problem is resolved.
Managing Agents
