The Single-User Agent

The CA Harvest SCM agent lets you access file systems from the CA Harvest SCM client and perform check‑in and check-out processes. For example, you can execute check‑out processes to a remote UNIX or Linux file system from a Windows CA Harvest SCM client. The single-user agent does not require a privileged user account for startup. The user who starts it owns the single-user agent process; therefore, only the user who owns the single‑user agent process can log in.

You can specify agent start options either on the command line or in the agent argument file, hagent.arg, located in the CA_SCM_HOME directory. The options in the agent argument file are available for the multi-user agent and the single-user agent. Options specified on the command line override the same options set in the hagent.arg file.

Compared to the previous release where the agent process used the rtserver parameter, the Release 12.5 agent process runs as an independent process listening at a particular port. The rtserver parameter is no longer required.
