DTS Method of Operation

When jobs are set up to agents connecting with scalability servers, the domain manager first checks if the package in question already has been stored in the Software Package Library of the scalability server. If this is the case, the copy is sent to the agent using Data Transport Service (DTS). If the package is not available in the Software Package Library on the scalability server, the package is transferred from the Software Package Library on the domain manager. Once the DTS file transfers of the software packages are completed, the job orders are sent to the scalability server for the agents execution. Once the job has completed, the files downloaded for the job are deleted.
