Reporting Service Components
The reporting service comprises the following core components:
- A Report Agent is a Windows service or a UNIX daemon that runs on each CA ControlMinder or UNAB endpoint and sends information to queues on a configured Message Queue that resides on the Distribution Server.
- A Message Queue is a component of the Distribution Server that is configured for receiving endpoint information that Report Agents send. For reporting, the Message Queue forwards endpoint database snapshots from to the central database. For redundancy and failover, you can have multiple Distribution Servers collecting and forwarding the information.
- A central database is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that holds information for CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management functionality, including reporting. You can use various tools to interrogate the data stored in the database about your CA ControlMinder implementation.
- A Report Portal is an application server that serves CA ControlMinder reports. The server uses BusinessObjects InfoView portal to let you interact with the reporting information that is stored on the central database.
- CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management Server is used to read reporting data from the Message Queue and store the data in the central database.
- Built-in reports are included to let you easily present data for common reporting scenarios.
- A computer on which you run a web browser to view and manage reports.
Note: For more information about CA ControlMinder reporting service implementation and architecture, see the Implementation Guide.
