The Universal connector consists of the following main components:
Polls the web service periodically for services, CIs, and events; normalizes these items to the USM format; and makes them available to the SA Manager. The connector is part of the IFW.
Lets various CA Technologies and third-party products send services, CIs, and events for the Universal connector to collect and publish to CA SOI. The web service runs on a Tomcat server that by default is on the SA Manager, is named GenericConnectorService, and is located at http://SA-Manager:7090/axis2/services/GenericConnectorService?wsdl. The server polls for the events that the web service client forwards.
Communicates with the web service using the web service interface. It provides a command-line interface (GCEventAddCmd.bat) that implements various web services methods to load services, CIs, and events into the web service. The web service client also provides supporting libraries for user programs to use the web services interface. This component is installed when you select the Universal connector installation option in the CA SOI installation wizard.
