pull-down menu.A Buyer agent obtains bandwidth for you by sending bids to a Resource agent. You can have your agent bid from the Garage, which normally runs on the same server as the Resource agent. Your Spot-market agent may continue to bid on your behalf from the Garage when you close the agent on your PC (using your current Desktop agent settings). This is known as �uploading� your agent. When you upload your agent, all configuration changes are saved and the agent on your PC is closed.
Unlike when you close a Spot-market agent, there is little harm if you exit a Merkato session without uploading a Reservation agent. If you don�t upload your agent, you lose the last changes you made in the reservation quote request window, but not the reservations you have already confirmed. Confirmed reservations are stored in a Merkato database, not in your Reservation agent profile.
You can upload either by pressing the up-arrow on the icon
bar () or
by selecting Upload from the File
pull-down menu.
