CA SRM Components

The following list describes the components of CA SRM:

Application Server

Server that controls and schedules the activities of all CA SRM components, wherever they reside.

CA SRM Windows Client

Graphical user interface that provides access to CA SRM functions and objects.

Note: You can connect any number of CA SRM Windows Clients to an Application Server, but you cannot connect a CA SRM Windows Client to more than one Application Server at the same time. You can use a CA SRM Windows Client with different Application Servers; however, only one Application Server can connect to a specific CA SRM Windows Client at the same time.

Activity Monitor

Utility that monitors the execution of CA SRM services, accessed from the CA SRM Windows Client.

CA SRM Database

Database that stores information about all network objects known to CA SRM; it also stores user-defined constructs.

Runtime Services

Services activated on a computer that is managed by CA SRM.

CA SRM Agent

Platform-specific CA SRM software executing on managed computers.

Managed Computer

Any computer managed by CA SRM.

Fast File Scan Database

To improve your file search performance, you can scan files from a cached database. This is a compressed highly efficient database for keeping file system information. The Fast File Scan (FFS) creates this database. Each FSDB contains the file information of one volume.

CA SRM Object Server (BOS)

BOS is the CA SRM server object housing component that establishes and maintains the environment where all the servers exist.
