11 Third-Party Consumer Applications This chapter discusses setting up access to a third-party vendor application, which is used for managing the content stored on the file systems, and how to allow communication with CEE. Topics: • Overview • Set up consumer application access Overview A third-party consumer application can reside either on the same local Windows computer where the CEE is installed, or on another remote computer that is in the same domain as the Windows computer where the CEE is installed. The Windows computers that have the CEE installed but do not have the consumer applications installed will route events to the appropriate computer where the registered consumer application resides. When both the consumer application and the CEE are installed on the local computer, communication between the applications occurs through local RPC (LRPC). When the consumer application is installed on a remote computer in the same domain, communication between the applications occurs through Microsoft RPC. The consumer application registers through the publishing agent API on the CEE computer and specifies which events it will receive. Event descriptions lists the event types you can specify for a response from the consumer application. You determine the events for which you want to be notified, based on the consumer application used. The Data Mover or NAS server generates events for selected file system activity and sends them to a defined Windows Server that has the CEE installed, which then communicates with the consumer application, requesting a response. Depending on the type of consumer application used, policies can be checked and the appropriate response sent to the event publishing agent. If necessary, the appropriate response is sent to the user who performed the action. Set up consumer application access Steps 1. Open a command window on the Windows Server where the consumer application is installed and type regedit. The Windows Registry Editor window appears. 2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > EMC > CEE > CEPP > > Configuration where: = type of consumer application being used. 3. Double-click EndPoint. ● If the consumer application is installed on the local computer, type where: = name of the vendor on the local computer. ● If the consumer application is installed on a remote computer, type @; @... where: = name of the vendor.

Third-Party Consumer Applications
This chapter discusses setting up access to a third-party vendor application, which is used for managing the content stored on
the file systems, and how to allow communication with CEE.

Set up consumer application access
Overview
A third-party consumer application can reside either on the same local Windows computer where the CEE is installed, or on
another remote computer that is in the same domain as the Windows computer where the CEE is installed. The Windows
computers that have the CEE installed but do not have the consumer applications installed will route events to the appropriate
computer where the registered consumer application resides.
When both the consumer application and the CEE are installed on the local computer, communication between the applications
occurs through local RPC (LRPC). When the consumer application is installed on a remote computer in the same domain,
communication between the applications occurs through Microsoft RPC.
The consumer application registers through the publishing agent API on the CEE computer and specifies which events it will
receive.
Event descriptions
lists the event types you can specify for a response from the consumer application. You determine the
events for which you want to be notified, based on the consumer application used.
The Data Mover or NAS server generates events for selected file system activity and sends them to a defined Windows Server
that has the CEE installed, which then communicates with the consumer application, requesting a response. Depending on the
type of consumer application used, policies can be checked and the appropriate response sent to the event publishing agent. If
necessary, the appropriate response is sent to the user who performed the action.
Set up consumer application access
Steps
1.
Open a command window on the Windows Server where the consumer application is installed and type
regedit
.
The
Windows Registry Editor
window appears.
2.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
>
Software
>
EMC
>
CEE
>
CEPP
>
<application>
>
Configuration
where:
<application>
= type of consumer application being used.
3.
Double-click
EndPoint
.
●
If the consumer application is installed on the local computer, type
<local vendor>
where:
<local vendor>
= name of the vendor on the local computer.
●
If the consumer application is installed on a remote computer, type
<vendor>
@
<IPaddr>
;
<vendor>
@
<IPaddr>
...
where:
<vendor>
= name of the vendor.
