How the BrightStor Plug-In Works
The coexistence utility runs the BrightStor plug-in to scan the computer for CA BrightStor registry keys and executables at the end of a Privileged Identity Manager installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

The coexistence utility runs the BrightStor plug-in to scan the computer for CA BrightStor registry keys and executables at the end of a Privileged Identity Manager installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:
- Queries the following registry keys for existence:
When the first registry key exists, the plug-in:HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\UniversalClientAgent\Common HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Cheetah\UniversalClientAgent\Common HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor Enterprise Backup\UniversalClientAgent\Common- Reads the value of the Path entry
- Returns the following executable pathname:FilePathFromRegistry\UnivAgent.exe
- Creates a SPECIALPGM resource of type DCMThis is the default action as defined in the response file.
- If the plug-in cannot find any of the registry keys in Step 1, it queries the following registry keys for existence:
When the first registry key exists, the plug-in:HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Path HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Cheetah\Base\Path HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor Enterprise Backup\Base\Path- Reads the value of the HOME entry
- Returns the following executable pathname:FilePathFromRegistry\carunjob.exe
- Creates a SPECIALPGM resource of type DCMThis is the default action as defined in the response file.
- If the plug-in also cannot find any of the registry keys in Step 2, it queries the following registry key for existence:
If the registry key exists, the plug-in:HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\ARCserveIT\Base\Path- Reads the value of the HOME entry
- Returns the following executable pathname:FilePathFromRegistry\ASRunJob.exe
- Creates a SPECIALPGM resource of type DCMThis is the default action as defined in the response file.
- Queries the following registry keys for existence:
When the first registry key exists, the plug-in:HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA BAOF\CurrentVersion HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor Backup Agent for Open Files\CurrentVersion- Reads the value of the ServicePath entry
- Creates a SPECIALPGM resource of type DCM forServicePathFromRegistryThis is the default action as defined in the response file.
The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before Privileged Identity Manager installation, after Privileged Identity Manager installation, and so on).
