How do we create a new Agent

In reality, we must say an agent prototype. If, for example, we program a coordinator for “order“ processing, then in the case of five (5) running “orders,“ then five (5) different instances of the coordinator agent are active. Let‘s see then how we construct an agent prototype.

1. By right-clicking the mouse, we select Developer.
2. In the appearing window, we select Agents.
3. In the appearing window, we select Agent Builder.

In the form that is displayed, it appears:

{....................................AGENT INFO..............................................}

start_agent_info

       AgentName = “replace this with the agent name“
       AgentDescr = ““
       AgentLanguage = ““
       __timer_interval = 0{....define (in seconds) the timer interval for the wake up}
       __is_registered = 1{.....1=the agent keeps trail to database, 0=starting without trail}
       __delete_on_termination = 0{....1=the agent frees itself when terminates its task}

end_agent_info

{....................................ACTION CODE..............................................}

start_action

       { put some action code here}

end_action

4. By pressing the Create button, we have created the first agent has.

The agent info and the action are required sections in agent building.
