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.
