Broker and Server Communication

The CA Harvest SCM broker and server programs execute operations requested by product clients. The agent program acts as a file server to remote clients. The options for configuring these programs vary with the operating system.

The agent can be started as either a multi-user or single-user process.

• On UNIX and Linux, the privileged root user account is required to start the agent in multi-user mode.
• On Windows, the privileged user account named Administrator is required to act as part of the operating system.
• The single-user agent does not require a privileged user account for startup. However, the same logon credentials used to start the single-user agent must also be used to access it.
