Configuring the Event Server › Define the Event Server Information

Define the Event Server Information

You can define the event server information used by CA Workload Automation AE during or after installation. To define the event server information after the installation, edit the fields on the Event Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window of CA Workload Automation AE Administrator. The scheduler, application server, web server, and some client utilities such as dbstatistics, archive_events, and archive_jobs use the event server information to connect to the event server.

Notes:

• CA Workload Automation AE supports various databases including Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server. When you switch to a new database provider, the information about the previous database provider is not cleared. You must ensure that the fields on the Event Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window are properly updated to support the new database provider.
• On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameters are Provider, DBAccess, EventServer_1, and EventServer_2. For more information about these parameters, see the Administration Guide.
