Aegis Services

A set of services on the Aegis Server computer that manage the workflows in production.

  • The NetIQ Aegis Engine (Aegis Engine) receives events from adapters and sends them to the Correlation Engine for evaluation. After the evaluation, the Aegis Engine initiates work items from process workflows and executes workflow activities. This service depends on the NetIQ Aegis Namespace Provider (current or pre-2.2) and the NetIQ Resource Management Namespace Provider.
  • The NetIQ Aegis Correlation Engine (Correlation Engine) receives events from the Aegis Engine and determines whether the events match any triggers.
  • The NetIQ Activity Broker (Activity Broker) allows the Aegis Engine to execute workflow activities. This service depends on the NetIQ Aegis Namespace Provider (current or pre-2.2).

Providers

A set of components on the Aegis Server computer that facilitate communication with the databases for both the BSL and the Aegis services.

  • The NetIQ Aegis Namespace Provider communicates with the Aegis database and runs Aegis adapters. This version of the Aegis Namespace Provider is present in both cluster and non-cluster environments.
  • The NetIQ Aegis Namespace Provider (pre-2.2) allows Aegis to run older versions of Aegis adapters that do not support clusters. This version of the Aegis Namespace Provider is not present in a cluster environment.
  • The NetIQ Resource Management Namespace Provider communicates with the Resource Management database.
