Running tasks
Use the orchestrator to set up jobs in the console or on the command line and run tasks across systems in your infrastructure.
You can install pre-existing tasks, and run tasks from the console and from the command line.
Note: If you have set up compile masters and you want to use tasks, you must either set
master_uris
or you server_list
on agents to point to to your compile masters. This setting is described in the section on configuring compile masters for orchestrator scale.-
