Each of the DSM components uses the common application framework (CAF). CAF is a cross-platform service controller that provides a single point of control for all DSM components.
CAF dynamically provides DSM services as required using an extensible plug-in model. Each CAF plug-in is a program that provides agent, scalability server, or manager functionality. A CAF plug-in can also be an extension of CAF itself and provide some common service, for example, registration with scalability servers or system event detection.
Normally, CAF starts all plug-ins automatically at boot time. CAF can also start and stop plug-ins on demand from the command line and at particular times and regular intervals using its scheduler. For a description of how to specify scheduled jobs that run in CAF, see the "CAF Scheduled Jobs" appendix.
CAF is also able to query plug-ins for status information and route messages from other plug-ins.
Important! On Windows, CAF is installed by default to log on as the Local System account. If for security reasons you need to change this Net Logon property, you must do this after the installation using the Computer Management, Services console from the Windows control panel. However, changing to an account with reduced privileges may result in unexpected behavior or reduced functionality of CA Client Automation.
