How the Asset Management Plug-In Works

The coexistence utility runs the Asset Management plug-in to scan the computer for Unicenter DSM services at the end of a CA ControlMinder installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "CA Unicenter NSM Systems Performance Agent for UAM" (ServicePath)
Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:
```
ServicePath\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
```
Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "caf" (ServicePath)
Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:
```
ServicePath\PMAgent\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
```

The coexistence utility also runs the Asset Management plug-in to scan the computer for Unicenter Asset Management version 4 services at the end of a CA ControlMinder installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "CA Unicenter NSM Systems Performance Agent for UAM" (ServicePath)
Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:
```
ServicePath\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
```

The coexistence utility also runs the Asset Management plug-in to scan the computer for Unicenter DSM r11 services at the end of a CA ControlMinder installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "caf" (ServicePath)
Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:
```
ServicePath\PMAgent\agents\bin\hpacbcol.exe
```

Note: The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before CA ControlMinder installation, after CA ControlMinder installation, and so on).
