Executing Remote Commands

The process of sending remote commands from CA Automation Point to CA NSM Event Manager is similar to the process of sending an SNMP trap. The UNICMD rules keyword creates a command item on the Event Traffic Controller queue. The Event Traffic Controller command processor then sends the command to CA NSM Event Manager for execution using the CA NSM Event API library. Because CA NSM Event Manager can issue any native operating system command, this feature enables CA Automation Point to issue commands to a remote operating system that has CA NSM Event Manager running, without the need to maintain a full-time session to that operating system.
