Description

The START_CMD option specifies the name of the Universal Agent component that is to be started on the machine specified by the REMOTE_HOST option.

Only those Universal Agent server components that do not require interaction with a Manager application can be started with Universal Control. The Universal Broker checks the requested component's type against a list of component types that can be started by Universal Control. The Universal Broker will reject any attempt to start an ineligible component.

In Universal Agent 7.2.x, the only components that Universal Control can start are:

  • Event-driven Universal Event Monitor (UEM) Server (component type uems)
  • Universal Automation Center Agent (UAG) Server (component type uags)
  • Universal Message Service (OMS) Server (component type oms)

If the Universal Control Server is configured with security enabled, a user identifier and password will be required to start a component. The component, once started, will run under the same security context of the Universal Broker.
