Ports shown are for default installation of database and components. Always refer to “Ports Used by Unicenter DSM” in the DSM “Implementation Guide” for more detailed, most accurate information.


MDB

- Common data storage for all CA r11 applications

- Initial support – Ingres only

- Near future – Microsoft SQL Server

MDB


Domain Manager

- Provide MDB connection information to other DSM components

- Broker requests to update/retrieve data for other components

- Long running services for scheduling and managing DSM operations

- Manage communications with Scalability Servers

Domain Manager


Domain Manager Communications- Must be able to initiate

communications with the MDB using the configured database port to update and retrieve data

Engine

- By default, an Engine instance referred to as “System Engine” is installed.

- “System Engine” is typically assigned management tasks (i.e., group evaluation, report execution).

- In most cases, installation of additional Engine instances is recommended to handle collection and replication tasks.

- In slides that follow, understand that there is no difference in the requirements or capabilities of “System Engine” and “Engine” - only in the tasks that would normally be assigned.

Engine- Like Domain, by default, an

Engine instance referred to as “System Engine” is installed.

- The “System Engine” is typically assigned management tasks (i.e., group evaluation, report execution).

- In most cases, installation of additional Engine instances is recommended to handle collection and replication tasks.

- In slides that follow, understand that there is no difference in the requirements or capabilities of “System Engine” and “Engine” - only in the tasks that would normally be assigned.

-Note, however, that in r11, it is an Engine in the linked Domain that is assigned the actual replication task, NOT an Enterprise Engine


Scalability Servers

Note also that Scalability Servers (used to communicate with agents) are a Domain component only and…

…additional lines of communication between Domains and the Enterprise are required to support data replication and reporting.


Enterprise Manager

Enterprise Manager must be able to initiate communications with the Domain Managers…

- Via CAM to link the Domains and assign the replication task to a Domain Engine.

- Via the multiplexer to transfer packages from the Enterprise to the Domain.
