Does the Hybrid Deployment Agent Connect to the Source or Destination?

Question

Does the Hybrid Deployment Agent connect to the source or destination?

Answer

No, the agent does not connect directly to the source or destination. Its primary role is to start and manage jobs in the data pipeline. These jobs handle tasks such as:

• connection tests (setup tests)

• retrieving source schema

• running extract, process, and load operations

• The agent also cleans up jobs after they finish, but it never establishes a direct connection to the source or destination.
