Overview

Universal Enterprise Controller (UEC) is a Universal Agent server application, for z/OS and Windows operating systems, that monitors the status of all Agent installations in your enterprise.

...

Automation tools can be used in conjunction with these messages to perform operations based on agent failures.

Under the Windows operating system, UEC connects to three stand-alone client applications:
 

I-Administrator

I-Administrator is used to administer the list of Agents that UEC will monitor. It also is used to administer UEC users and their permissions. With I-Administrator, the user can add, modify, and delete users, agents, groups, and SAP systems.
 

Note
titleNote

A user must have UEC administrative rights - granted via I-Administrator - in order to use I-Administrator.

 
Upon installation of UEC, a default user ID (admin) and password (admin) are created having UEC administrative rights. It is recommended that you create another user with UEC administrative rights and then delete the default user.

I-Activity Monitor

I-Activity Monitor connects to UEC and displays information about the current status, posted alerts, and job and file activity for all Agents being monitored by UEC throughout an enterprise.
 
When an Agent or SAP system is added to UEC, via the I-Administrator application, UEC is able to collect information about that agent or SAP system.
 
Authorized users are able to use the I-Activity Monitor interface to stop running any Universal Agent component (if it is a component of an Agent being polled by UEC).

I-Management Console

I-Management Console provides a graphical user interface for reconfiguring Agents:

  1. Reconfigure agents remotely, from a single machine.
  2. Reconfigure multiple agents simultaneously.

See Universal Enterprise Controller Client Applications for detailed information on running these applications.
