Now that I am able to run a job on a remote agent (see previous thread), I now have a problem when that job tries to update a global variable on the master machine. I am getting the same "connection refused" error.

I think this may be because the Master is expecting a password to be sent along with the username.

Any ideas?

How do you update a global variable on the Master from the Agent?

If the name of the master is DB_EDS02, then I use the following:

Dim (global.job_success, boolean)

SetRemoteVariable "DB_EDS02", global.job_success, "True"

If you run 24x7 standalone on the Agent computer, can you connect from it to the Master?

: (global.job_success, boolean)

: SetRemoteVariable "DB_EDS02", global.job_success, "True"

Yes, as long as I supply a Username and Password. If I supply only Username, then I am unable to connect (see my previous thread about Remote Security being used anyway whether it is turned on or off).

Do you run the job manually?

It may work differenytly when it is triggered manually or runs on schedule. The internal and manual connections are slightly different. Manual connection may require the password, and the internal may be not.

There is also a workaround like the following.
// Do everything on the master
JobRemoteRun "job", "agent"
GetRemoteVariable "agent", "global.agent_variable", global.master_variable

Replace job, agent, variable names with the actual variables.
The remote job should contain logic to set "global.agent_variable" on the agent.
