Agents are the key integration components of CA's workload automation products. Agents let you automate, monitor, and manage workload on all major platforms, applications, and databases. To run workload on a particular system, you need to install an agent on that system. For example if your workload must run on a UNIX computer, you can install and configure the CA WA Agent for UNIX to run UNIX scripts, execute UNIX commands, transfer files using FTP, monitor file activity on the agent computer, and perform many other tasks.
You can extend the functionality of the agent by installing one or more agent plug-ins into the agent installation directory. If you have a relational database such as Oracle, for example, you can install a database agent plug-in to query and monitor the database. Other agent plug-ins are also available, including Application Services, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, SAP, and Web Services. For more information, refer to the appropriate Implementation Guide for each agent plug-in.
Note: The agent plug-ins are only available for UNIX and Windows operating environments.
