Unmanaged products

Unmanaged products are systems that are not registered in Central Governance, but that are integrated in flows for transferring files. Unmanaged products can be:

• Transfer CFTs 3.1.2 or higher that are not registered with Central Governance
• SecureTransports 5.3.1 or higher that are not registered with Central Governance
• Earlier versions of Transfer CFT, or SecureTransport that cannot register with Central Governance
• Axway products other than Transfer CFT  or SecureTransport
• Third-party products

Unlike registered products, Central Governance cannot detect, start, stop or change the configurations of unmanaged products. However, the Central Governance user interface provides a way to define unmanaged products and include them in flows.

In Central Governance, unmanaged products can be defined in flows as a source, target or relay. Central Governance deploys flows on registered products. When unmanaged products are used in flows, however, the flow definitions must be applied externally to those products.

Certain Central Governance predefined user roles allow users access to unmanaged products.

• The predefined Middleware Manager role lets users view unmanaged products.
• The predefined IT Manager role lets users view, add, change and delete unmanaged products.
