Overview

Each Universal Agent server component - Universal Automation Center Agent (UAG), Universal Command Server, Universal Data Mover Server, Universal Event Monitor Server, Universal Control Server, Universal Application Container, and Universal Message Service (OMS) - has a component definition.

The Component Definition is a text file of options that defines component-specific information required by the Universal Broker.

Each Component Definition defines the following type of information:

• Component type (for Universal Event Monitor Servers only).

• Component name.

• Component command name.

• Component configuration file name.

• Component working directory path.

• Number of component instances that can run simultaneously.

• Specification for whether or not the component starts automatically when the Universal Broker starts.

For information on the options that comprise each Component Definition, see:

• Universal Automation Center Agent

• Universal Command

• Universal Data Mover

• Universal Event Monitor

• Universal Control

• Universal Application Container

• Universal Message Service (OMS)

Universal Event Monitor Component Definition

The Component Definition for a Universal Event Monitor Server defines whether it is a demand-driven or an event-driven server. Among other factors, this determines how the server is started (see Starting and Stopping Agent Components).

For a complete explanation of the difference between demand-driven and event-driven Universal Event Monitor Servers, see UEM Servers - Demand-Driven vs. Event-Driven.
