Nolio FAQ
Q: What load do agents typically place on servers? What restrictions can be implemented?(Security, Agent)
- A: 30Mb memory footprint . Agent is Idle until an automated workflow has been activated on the specific agent machine.
Back to Top Q: How does the server-based Nolio licensing deal with non-production, DR and virtual servers?(Agent)
- A: Nolio licenses are per agents. Every server (virtual and physical) that requires automation, needs an agent to be installed.
Back to Top Q: What O/S versions & architectures are supported (e.g. Sol 8/10 on Intel/Sparc, etc.)?(Agent)
- A: Nolio platform and Agents are written in Java and are multiplatform (Win/Linux/Unix)
Back to Top Q: How can a process continue to run after a system reboot?(Processes, Actions, Agent)
- A: The Nolio agent runs as a service or daemon and automatically starts on boot, just like similar processes such as Apache, MySQL, etc.
Specifically, the “restart host” action will ensure the continued run of a Nolio Process after reboot, enabling a controlled reboot as a part of a Nolio Process.
Back to Top Q: Is there a Nolio Agent for Solaris?(Agent)
- A: Yes. Nolio supports Solaris x86 and Solaris Sparc 32. The Nolio Agents can be downloaded from the product download section.
Back to Top Q: Is the Nolio Agent supported on an IBM Z server.(Agent)
- A: Nolio Agents can run on any machine which can run Java RunTime.
Back to Top Q: In the scenario where my Nolio Server is communicating to the Execution Server via a VPN connection, does the connection need to be open for the duration of the process run?(Security, Server, Agent, Execution Server)
- A: Once the process starts its execution, the VPN to the Nolio Server may be dropped. In this case, you will not be able to get an online status of the progress. If user inputs are required during the execution, the execution server will need to wait for the connection to be restored in order for the user input request to display.
For a better experience, you may set all required “User Inputs” prior to starting the execution, and then in the event that there are no errors during the execution, it will run to the end, updating the Nolio Server once the VPN connection is re-established.
Back to Top Q: I get a "bin/unpack200: not found" error when installing Nolio on Linux(Installation, Server, Agent, Execution Server)
- A: In order to solve this problem, make sure that you have ia32-sun-java6-bin or ia32-sun-java5-bin installed on your system.
Back to Top Q: Can Nolio agents run on a mainframe?(Agent)
- A: As long as your Operating System has a valid Java Runtime Environment (JRE), the Nolio agent should run without issue.
