Every CA NSM installation has one or more directories of installed components known as Global Catalogs. Created at installation time, a Global Catalog provides information about the availability and location of CA NSM components to the Management Command Center, and provides access to WorldView, the Distributed State Machines, and Enterprise Management Managers. At installation, WorldView, Enterprise Management, DSM, and other information sources register with a Global Catalog as providers. Providers enable applications, data, and business components to appear as native within the object infrastructure so that all data can be accessed and integrated, regardless of origin, format, or location. Depending upon the size and configuration of your network, you may choose to set up a single Global Catalog that contains information about all the providers (CA NSM components) at your site, or you may choose to set up multiple Global Catalogs, where each catalog provides access to a subset of the available providers.
Any Management Command Center client pointing to a Global Catalog can see the entire CA NSM installation that has registered to that particular Global Catalog. The Management Command Center client running on your computer, for example, may be using a Global Catalog on a server somewhere else. Your local browser can access any provider known to that Global Catalog. Although a Management Command Center client has the ability to access more than one Global Catalog, the Management Command Center is configured to use one Global Catalog as its master catalog for the purpose of accessing current information about available providers. When you open the Management Command Center, it updates the local catalog with information about all currently published providers in the master catalog and removes information about providers that may have been "unpublished" (removed) from the Global Catalog since the last time the application was started. This process is referred to as the catalog "synchronization" process.
Note: For more information about Global Catalogs, see the Management Command Center online help.
You can open the MCC user interface in several different ways.
To start Unicenter MCC on Windows, do one of the following:
To start the Management Command Center on UNIX or Linux, run the camcc command from the $JI_SYSTEM/bin directory.
You can route the camcc display by setting the DISPLAY environment variable to the proper hostname or IP address. By default, only one Management Command Center instance is permitted per UNIX/Linux server, but you can edit the $JI_SYSTEM/.max_ue file to change this limit to reflect the number of instances of Unicenter MCC that you want to run simultaneously on the server. The new limit takes effect when all instances of the Unicenter MCC are restarted.
Note: For more information about the tndbrowser.bat, showinmcc, and camcc commands, see the online CA Reference.
In addition to the Management Command Center, CA NSM provides the following other user interfaces:
The Unicenter Browser Interface is an Internet and intranet-based user interface that provides virtually all of the functionality found in the WorldView Classic user interface. Since it is a Java applet, it does not require client installation, which makes it accessible from virtually anywhere. Windows users can access it locally on the system where the MDB resides through Start, Programs, CA, Unicenter, NSM, Unicenter Browser Interface. Remote systems can access it by entering a URL address on any Java-enabled web browser in the following form:
http://wvserver/ubi/ubi.html
Specifies the name or IP address of the web server on which the server components reside.
You can use many of the procedures for the WorldView Classic GUI, contained in the CA Procedures located in the Online Books program group, with this interface.
Note: You must install the Unicenter Browser from the Product Explorer before it appears in the NSM program group.
Unicenter Classic refers to the traditional Windows-based user interface delivered with previous versions of CA NSM. Unicenter Classic includes the WorldView, Enterprise Management, and Discovery program groups accessed through Start, Programs, CA, Unicenter, NSM. Procedures based on the Unicenter Classic GUI are contained in the online CA Procedures.
Unicenter Classic also includes the cautil command line interface.
WorldView Classic refers to the traditional Windows-based user interface. WorldView Classic includes the WorldView program group accessed through Start, Programs, CA, Unicenter, NSM, WorldView. Procedures based on the WorldView Classic GUI are contained in CA Procedures located in the Online Books program group.
WorldView Classic also includes the cautil command line interface.
Note: For more information about the cautil command line interface, see CA Reference in the Online Books program group.
