1.1.3 Framework Agent

The Framework Agent is the client component of the Framework. It is responsible for receiving and
carrying out instructions from the Framework Manager on all hosts. The following Framework
Agent packages are installed on all Framework hosts:
Registry Agent (regclnt): Provides a local cached lookup for module locations. The Registry
Agent queries the Registry Manager when local cached information is not available or isn't
fresh.
Distribution Agent (distrib): Provides the interface to control the installation and removal of
the packages in the Framework. It has methods to install and remove and to list available and
updatable packages. The Distribution Agent retrieves packages from the local Package
Managers.
Store and Forward Agent (strfwd): Provides a store and forward mechanism for guaranteed
delivery of messages. It is used for various core features such as replication of the manager
databases.
Command Control Agent (rexec): Enables the Framework to control and audit user
commands.
