Network Administration

Network administrators perform network administration tasks, like establishing customized network topologies and optimizing network performance. You can use DTS to schedule, initiate, monitor, and control data transfers with or without any network administration.

Note: Network administrators, who install and maintain DTS network components or install and maintain the CA client solution that includes DTS, should be familiar or possess a general knowledge of CCS and the operating system conventions of the computers on which you are installing and administering agents.

Administrators can use the results of the DTS registration process, which locates all DTS manager and agent components on the network, to establish a particular network topology. You can use this topology to create customized transfer routes through the network.

DTS administrators can also establish transmission settings to control how various DTS machines send and receive data transfers. You can use these transmission settings to optimize network performance by establishing the maximum size of parcels to transfer, the time to wait between parcel sends, and the maximum number of concurrent processes permitted.

Also, administrators can remotely configure the runtime parameters for legacy Data Transport Service r1, r2, and r 3 agents and manager components (NOS, TOS, and SOS). You can configure all of the administrative features previously described using CA Common Services. These features are also configurable through the DTS client API.

In Client Automation, DTS agent and manager components are controlled by configuration policies that are set up using the DSM Explorer.
