Architecture overview (Commvault Simpana)
The Data Collector connects to the Commvault Simpana CommServe database via JDBC to issue SQL queries (including execution of some read-only functions).
To collect more detailed information about individual jobs the Data Collector connects to the CommServe server via WMI and executes the sendLogFiles.exe tool to retrieve the client log files. These are then retrieved from the C$ administrative share. To retrieve this more detailed information a Windows logon with administrative access to the CommServe server must be supplied.
