Before installing Unified Agent, determine what type of discovery services to use:
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Listener – opens a listener on the current subnet and “listens” for a broadcast request for information. This discovery method contacts those agents that respond to the broadcast request. If the resources you want to discover are all on the same subnet, choose UDP.
JINI registry – requires a running JINI server to be accessible in the enterprise, that is across subnet boundaries. If a JINI discovery service is to be used, you must enter the JINI server’s host name and port number during the installation process. If the resources you want to discover are not all on the same subnet, allocate a resource to run the JINI discovery server.
These values are provided during installation at the Custom Configure Unified Agent step of the Adaptive Server™ Installer. After installation, users can use the Agent Management Console to add, configure, and remove discovery adaptors.
