Description

The ASSIGNED_COMPONENT_OPTION specifies the name of an event-driven UEM Server component that is responsible for monitoring the event represented by the event definition record.

To ensure proper assignment, this name should match the name of an installed UEM Server component.


UNIX

A component's name matches the name of its component definition file. A component definition file is a text file that contains parameters used by the Universal Broker when it starts a component.
 
Component definition files are provided by the Universal Agent installation, and are installed in the etc/universal/comp directory.

Windows

A component's name matches the name of its component definition file. A component definition file is a text file that contains parameters used by the Universal Broker when it starts a component.
 
Component definition files are installed in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Universal\comp directory, where %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is an environment variable that expands to the All Users folder; typically C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.
 
A list of installed components can be viewed from the Universal Configuration Manager by selecting the Component Definitions page of the Universal Broker configuration control.


When an event-driven UEM Server starts, it obtains all event definition records that have been assigned to it, based on the value specified by this option. An event-driven UEM Server is any UEM Server component whose component definition has the value uems specified for its component_type parameter.

If a demand-driven UEM Server is asked to monitor an event using a stored event definition record (that is, a UEM Manager was started using the EVENT_ID option), the value stored in this field is ignored.

By default, new event definition records are assigned to the UEM Server component defined by the uems component definition.


A Stonebranch Tip

The assignment of an event definition to a component is provided primarily for future support of concurrent event-driven UEM Servers.

As of the current release, support for only a single instance of an event-driven Server is provided. Therefore, for any event definitions that you want to be monitored by an event-driven Server, it is strongly recommended that you use the default assignment of uems.

To store event definitions that do not need to be monitored by an event-driven Server, you can assign them to any component that does not match uems.

For example, to create an event definition that is intended to only be referenced by a UEM Manager, use a value of uemd for the component name parameter
