Multi computer

A Multi computer profile puts several desktops under one agent. The test switches machines by name mid-test, for anything where two machines must interact: client and server, sender and receiver.

1. On the **server**, start the message service.
2. On the **client**, send a message to the server.
3. On the **server**, the message appears in the log.

Preconditions: every machine runs AgentOS as a service (port 26000) and is reachable over the network.

Create it

1. Add device → Multi computer.
2. Add one row per machine (at least two). Add from profile… copies an existing Remote-computer profile into a row. Per row:
   • Name: how tests refer to the machine: role names (server, client), not hostnames (text, required)
   • Host: machine name or IP (text, required)
   • Port: the AgentOS port (number, default 26000)
   • Display: which screen to drive on that machine (number, default 1)
3. Add device.

Run it

1. Connect: one session covering all machines.
2. Pick the profile in the test's Run on dropdown and press Run.

The first row starts active; the agent switches whenever a step names another machine.
