You can change the connection type of agents in the following cases:
When agents do not connect correctly to the Solution Manager system
Example
Since SAP Solution Manager typically is a cluster of J2EE instances, the agent connection is required to be of Message Server type. You switch to a Message Server type connection if, for example, the P4 Dispatcher connection type is selected.
To switch from insecure to secure communication
Example
The security regulations of your company require Human Resources systems to be connected via secure connections. You switch to an SSL connection type.
The default connection type is Message Server.
You have started the Agent Administration

On the Agent Connectivity
tab page, select the Connection Type
check box.

The agent restarts and reconnects to the SAP Solution Manager system.
