How the Asset Management Plug-In Works

The coexistence utility runs the Asset Management plug-in to scan the computer for Unicenter DSM services at the end of a CA Access Control installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

1. Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "CA Unicenter NSM Systems Performance Agent for UAM" (ServicePath)
2. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:

   ServicePath\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
   

3. Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "caf" (ServicePath)
4. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:

   ServicePath\PMAgent\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
   

The coexistence utility also runs the Asset Management plug-in to scan the computer for Unicenter Asset Management version 4 services at the end of a CA Access Control installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

1. Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "CA Unicenter NSM Systems Performance Agent for UAM" (ServicePath)
2. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:

   ServicePath\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
   

The coexistence utility also runs the Asset Management plug-in to scan the computer for Unicenter DSM r11 services at the end of a CA Access Control installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

1. Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "caf" (ServicePath)
2. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:

   ServicePath\PMAgent\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
   

Note: The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before CA Access Control installation, after CA Access Control installation, and so on).
