AssetTrack contains its own SQL Server and Web Server, which communicate with CA products via SQL and Web Services access. A high level integration architecture is below.
Note |
---|
Although the various components are separated in the diagram, it does not mean that they all require their own physical hardware. As long as the communication routes are supported, the entire system can be installed on one server or multiple servers. The only constraint is that the UAPM Components (for 11.3.4) and CA Web Service (12.6+ and ServiceDesk) must be installed in order for AssetTrack to publish to APM. |
Unicenter components
AssetTrack Import Service | This is a Windows Scheduled Task that imports data to the AssetTrack database from the Unicenter Database (MDB) on scheduled basis. It writes no data to the MDB. |
AssetTrack Database | The AssetTrack database is a SQL Server (any edition) database that backs all of AssetTrack. It can be installed on any machine that has TCP/IP access to AssetTrack Server and Import Service. |
AssetTrack Server | AssetTrack Server is an ASP.NET web application that provides the following:
|
AssetTrack Mobile | AssetTrack Mobile runs on a Windows Mobile device and is used to collect data in the field. Mobile devices connect to AssetTrack Server through web services to upload/download data, upgrade their components, etc. |
AssetTrack Console | AssetTrack Console is a Windows application that is used by managers to review and scrub incoming data before publishing it to APM. As illustrated in the diagram, it must have HTTP access to AssetTrack Server. |
AMI Integration Web Service (Deprecated) | This component is deprecated and included only for backward-compatibility. This is an ASP.NET web service application that must live on the same physical machine as APM. It receives published data from AssetTrack and interacts with the Connect API to write the data to APM. |
