Welcome to Data Transport Service › DTS and CA Common Services Integration › WorldView

WorldView

If you install CA Common Services on your network, DTS is closely integrated with it. CA Common Services provides WorldView, Enterprise Discovery, Business Process Views™, 2D Map, ObjectView, MDB, and other components, which in turn provide DTS with important features like routing, containers, dynamic containers, links, throttling, and several protocols for data transfers.

You can administer DTS using WorldView and the following features that are installed with DTS:

• Several Business Process Views in WorldView
• Context menus to include DTS-specific options
• Several DTS server-specific forms (usually through context menus)

WorldView provides the following features, all of which DTS can use to view and manage your network resources:

Business Process Views

During the DTS Auto Discovery process, a DTS Business Process View is automatically created in the WorldView Managed Objects folder, which contains the discovered DTS managers and agents. The DTS administrators can use this Business Process View to establish a DTS network topology. In that topology, you can configure customized transfer routes. The DTS Business Process View can be used to simplify the maintenance of a large network of machines that are involved in DTS activities.

Real World Interface

The Real World Interface lets management applications display 2D graphical representations of the resources they manage and the relationships between those resources.

2D Maps

The two-dimensional animation, used by the Real World Interface, provides administrators with a realistic view of their enterprise. This view helps administrators to more easily resolve problems by letting them travel through the enterprise and monitor the status of their resources. Also, the 2D Maps come with built-in geographic maps, through which you can view managed resources by location.

The DTS administrators use the 2D Maps to display and monitor their DTS resources and to establish their network topology.

Enterprise Discovery

The WorldView Enterprise Discovery process detects or discovers network entities and resources and then populates the MDB with objects representing those entities and their relationships. The Real World Interface displays these objects and the entities they represent, monitor, and control.

DTS Interfaces to WorldView

The DTS Admin Client dialogs are accessible through context menus for objects in WorldView, and DTS Auto Discovery is available from the context menus of the DTS Business Process Views.
