Defining Computers

A computer on which the software delivery (SD) agent is installed, is automatically registered to the domain manager and is included in the list of computers on the DSM Explorer. Use the Deploy Agent function of CA ITCM to automatically push out the agent to computers in the network.

You can define computers manually, which means that new computers can be registered and assigned software beforehand. When the SD agent is installed on the computer, it can immediately receive software, which minimizes the startup time for new computers. When you define a computer manually, you provide general information (such as host name, network address, operating system, scalability server name) about the new computer using the New Computer preregistration Wizard. You can also define a job calendar to determine the days, dates, and times when jobs can be executed on that computer (Computer Properties).
