Service Descriptions
After the installation of the Cisco HCM-F platform, most services start automatically. You can configure services by setting service parameters for each service. If necessary, for example, for troubleshooting purposes, you may need to stop and start (or restart) a service. You can perform these task by using the command line interface (CLI) on the Cisco HCM-F platform.
This section describes the network services that exist on the Cisco HCM-F platform and are grouped by the following functional areas:
Cisco HCS Services
This section describes the Cisco HCS services that are specific to Cisco HCS.

Cisco HCS API Gateway Proxy web service
The API Gateway Proxy provides a single point of integration for the Cisco HCM-F APIs from a web services node and provides access to Service Fulfillment APIs of supported applications.
Cisco HCS DMA-SA service
The Cisco HCS DMA-SA service is an interface between the HCS Shared Data Repository and Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance. The key function of the DMA is to configure Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance automatically to monitor Cisco HCS devices and application instances such as Cisco Unified Communication Manager, Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence, and Cisco Unity Connection based on data from the HCS Shared Data Repository.
Cisco HCS DMA-CUOM Servlet service
The Cisco HCS DMA-CUOM Servlet service listens for Cisco Unified Operations Manager NBI notifications and forwards them to the main DMA-Cisco Unified Operations Manager service. This makes the provisioning work the DMA-CUOM does slightly more efficient, and it also allows DMA-CUOM to be notified when the devices in Cisco Unified Operations Manager are altered.
Cisco HCS Fulfillment service
The Cisco HCS Fulfillment service triggers provisioning of Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance by automatically detecting data changes in the SDR related to devices. It triggers the DMA-SA to provision those devices on Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance. The Cisco HCS Fulfillment service also coordinates provisioning done by CHPA. In addition, it automatically links blades to ESXi Hosts, Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance customers, and virtual machines to application instances within the HCS Shared Data Repository.
Cisco HCS License Manager service
HCS License Manager provides centralized license management for Cisco HCS. HCS License Manager leverages the functionality of Prime License Manager and extends beyond the scope of a single enterprise for use in the service provider.
HCS License Manager utilizes the Cisco HCM-F framework. There is one HCS License Manager per install of Cisco HCS.
Cisco HCS North Bound Interface Web service
The Cisco HCS North Bound Interface Web service is a set of SOAP APIs that exposes Cisco HCM-F functionality to the service provider OSS/BSS. These APIs can configure, service, and control a Cisco HCM-F deployment.

Cisco HCS SI UI
The Cisco HCS SI UI supports the Service Inventory administrative interface.
Cisco HCS UCSMSync service
The Cisco HCS UCSMSync service monitors configuration data of Cisco UCS Managers and maintains synchronization between the Cisco HCS Shared Data Repository. Cisco HCM-Service Assurance uses the UCS Manager configuration to perform fault correlation and event enrichment.
Cisco HCS VCenterSync service
The Cisco HCS VCenterSync service monitors configuration data on one or more vCenter servers, copies data from the vCenter servers to the Cisco HCS Shared Data Repository, and maintains synchronization between the vCenter servers and the Cisco HCS Shared Data Repository. Cisco HCM-Service Assurance uses the vCenter configuration to perform fault correlation and event enrichment.
Cisco Unity Connection Provisioning Adapter service
For deployments without CUCDM, UCPA uses the UCCxn REST interface to pull customer data directly from the UCCxn server for input into Service Inventory reports.
Performance and Monitoring Services
This section describes the Performance, and Monitoring services.
Cisco AMC service
The Alert Manager and Collector service allow you to retrieve real-time information that exists on the server.
Cisco Audit Event service
The Cisco Audit Event service monitors and logs any configuration change to the Cisco HCM-F platform by a user or due to the user action.
Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool
The Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool service supports the Log Partition Monitoring feature. It monitors the disk usage of the log partition on the Cisco HCM-F platform by using configured thresholds and a polling interval.
Cisco RIS Data Collector
The Real-Time Information Server (RIS) maintains real-time information, such as critical alarms generated.
Cisco RTMT Web service
The Cisco RTMT Web service is a performance and monitoring service that activates the trace for the RTMT servlets. Running this trace creates the server-side log for RTMT client queries.
Backup and Restore Services
This section describes the Backup and Restore services.
- Cisco DRF Local
- The Cisco DRF Local service supports the Cisco DRF Local Agent, which acts as the workhorse for the DRF Master Agent. Components register with the Cisco DRF Local Agent to use the disaster recovery framework. The Cisco DRF Local Agent executes commands that it receives from the Cisco DRF Master Agent. Cisco DRF Local Agent sends the status, logs, and command results to the Cisco DRF Master Agent.
- Cisco DRF Master
- The Cisco DRF Master Agent service supports the DRF Master Agent, which works with the CLI to schedule backups, perform restorations, view dependencies, check status of jobs, and cancel jobs, if necessary. The Cisco DRF Master Agent also provides the storage medium for the backup and restoration process.
System Services
This section describes the system services.
- Cisco CDP
- Cisco CDP advertises the voice application to other network management applications, so the network management application can perform network management tasks for the voice application.
