How are "Agents" utilized in Pega?

In Pega, Agents are used as background processes that execute tasks, which may include scheduled jobs and batch processing. Agents operate independently of user interactions and run on the server to perform automated functions such as sending out emails, generating reports at specific intervals, or processing large amounts of data without direct user input. By running in the background, they help ensure that tasks are completed on time and efficiently, enhancing the overall workflow and automation capabilities of the Pega platform.

The other options, while related to roles and functionalities within Pega, do not accurately describe the purpose of Agents. Managing user sessions is typically handled by the application server and user session management components. User interface components refer to elements that interact with users directly, such as forms and dashboards, not background processing functionalities. Creating reports based on user activity does rely on data processing but is generally managed by other reporting features in Pega rather than through Agents specifically. Thus, the defining role of Agents as background task executors is what makes this choice correct.
