Components

Describes the continuous daemon processes that make up the Unix Agent, including their roles in job submission, communication, logging, file monitoring, and job output retrieval.

Configuration File

The SMA_RM configuration file defines the structure and rules for disk, process, and user-defined monitoring sections, including window, log, and comment syntax.

Control File

Overview of the SMA FAD Control File, an XML-formatted ASCII configuration file that defines the directories to monitor and the OpCon events to forward to the SAM.

File Activity Detection Daemon

Overview of the SMA File Activity Detection Daemon (FAD), which monitors directories for file changes and forwards OpCon events to the SAM.

File Compression

SMAFT supports optional file compression using the UNIX tar and gzip utilities, configurable as PREFERRED or REQUIRED for each agent installation.

File Encryption

SMAFT supports optional file encryption using DES, 3DES, and AES-128 algorithms in ECB and CBC modes, configurable per agent installation as PREFERRED or REQUIRED.

SMA File Transfer overview

SMAFT reliably transfers files across multiple platforms as part of an OpCon job, with support for compression, encryption, SFTP fallback, and transfers larger than 2 GB.

SMA Resource Monitor overview

SMA_RM monitors system resources — including disk space, processes, and user-defined metrics — and triggers OpCon events or local actions when alarm conditions are detected.

Stream and Record Files

SMAFT includes a UNIX-specific feature that preserves the record structure of files transferred from non-UNIX platforms, enabling round-trip transfers with record structure intact.

System Impact

Reference for directories and files created in the Unix Agent root directory upon initial agent startup.

Unix Agent

Documentation for the Unix Agent, an OpCon agent that schedules and runs jobs in UNIX environments.

Unix Agent configuration

Overview of the configuration steps required to set up the Unix Agent, including the control script, configuration file, and root profile.
