About Catalyst

Catalyst is configured with the following settings:

• Catalyst Property settings.
• Catalyst Security settings.

The Unified Service Model (USM) is a schema of common object types and properties to which data from all connectors is converted. The USM schema enables analysis of data from all Domain managers. You can analyze data in a common interface with identical formatting across Domain managers.

The Catalyst operators let you use Catalyst connectors in automated processes. The Catalyst operators support the following interfaces:

• Create, read, update, delete (CRUD)
• Execute
• Event subscription

The operators expose USM object types and properties.

Using the common USM and standard UCF interfaces provides Catalyst compatibility with all UCF connectors and containers.

CA Process Automation embeds the following UCF-USM components:

• Catalyst Operator Category
• Catalyst Trigger

The Catalyst operator category and the Catalyst Trigger are remote UCF connector clients. They use the UCF Broker and Connector proxy interfaces, as the following illustration shows:
