Component Definition
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.
