Use tenancy to manage the asset information collected from various sources within the same MDB. The collected asset information is imported into the MDB so the tenancy membership of the asset is maintained and managed within the same MDB.
CA Client Automation is not multi-tenant capable, but the product can collect external inventory files and store any tenant information for use by other multi-tenant capable CA products such as CA APM.
The Asset Collector uses the collection folders to receive inventory files. You can configure the collection folders to associate tenants with individual collection folders.
The tenancies are defined in the ca_tenant MDB table. Defining a tenancy on a collection folder lets the engine populate a new column named tenant_id on the ca_asset table in the MDB. The column tenant_number from the ca_tenant table is used to configure the Asset Collector.
Note: CA Client Automation cannot populate the ca_tenant table, although other CA products such as CA Service Desk Manager can populate it. So, when you define tenants with CA Service Desk Manager or another CA product, specify a tenancy number for each tenant. The Asset Collector uses this tenancy number to differentiate between tenants.
