Agent passing value to an agent

Hi there,

I have one backend agent that needs to call another one but pass it a value along the way. Is there an easy way to do this or should I just set a flag on a settings document and have the second agent check the flag? I know I can pass things via the web, but my intent is a backend agent to call another (and of course the &dfsdf=dsfsf doesn’t work for backend stuff.

What’s the best practice on this?

Thanks…Neil

Subject: Typically I create a NotesDocument and pass its ID to the agent.

Look at NotesAgent.ParameterDocID. You can then delete the parameter doc when you are finished. I generally would not use a single document because there may be other instances of your agents firing at the same time.
