Overview

DTS is a flexible service in terms of how to configure the different components in your network. Before you configure your DTS network, understand the role that each component plays. The central component of DTS, the Data Transport manager, operates as a distributed server. Applications connect to the Data Transfer manager to perform or schedule data transfers. Any computer that involves the transfer of actual data must have the DTS agent installed.

In Client Automation, communications, auditing, tracing, event management, compression, encryption, are handled by common components in the Common Application Framework (CAF). For an overview, see the Implementation Guide.

Note: The previous releases for DTS that are upgraded to Unicenter DSM r11.1 do not integrate with CA Common Services. This means that any DTS advanced network configuration set up with a previous version of CA Common Services are not available in r11.1. If, however, a previous release is upgraded to Unicenter or Client Automation Release 12.9, this does not apply, that is, the existing network configuration is available.

Note: Installing Client Automation r12 on top of CCS r3.0 is successful; however, any DTS data that has been configured in CCS will no longer be available.
