Lastly, it is highly recommended you review the Leaf­Agent Deployment Guide. This document reviews Master and Leaf­Agent Architecture.

Leaf­Agent Configuration

Leaf­Agents support a subset of the available Master­Agent Tabs (6 of 10 tabs currently) in File

>Agent > Settings.

Using these Tabs, Leaf­Agents can be configured for background query, logging level, and depth of validation. Leaf­Agents can also be configured to download patches from the internet (shown below), and gain internet access through a web proxy server.

Note that the Master­Agent is always Agent:0. Leaf­Agents will be Agent:2 and higher. The Leaf­Agent uses Global Agents defaults, unless you specify otherwise by un­checking “Use Global Agent Settings” checkbox shown below.
