How Configuration Data from Data Sources Is Handled

The administrator for each data source can set some monitoring parameters and can create user accounts and other definitions. These parameters and definitions are shared with CA Performance Center and all other registered data sources after registration.

During registration, CA Performance Center imports user accounts, SNMP profiles, and other administrative data from the data sources. It resolves conflicts and eliminates duplication. At the next synchronization, it sends updated administrative data to all registered data sources.

The registration process includes a "binding" step that prevents further modifications to shared administrative data in individual data sources. As a result, the data source administrator can only modify shared monitoring parameters in CA Performance Center after registration.
