It is possible to view and manage the

To configure ICA:
When defining adapter properties for the ICA, set Discover Administration to True.
This enables viewing and performing some management tasks for the remote Administration branch. If Discover Administration is set to False, you cannot view the remote branch.
Defining an adapter and its properties is explained in the Operations Center 5.0 Adapter and Integration Guide.
Because it is possible using the ICA to monitor remote server and warehouse element performance in real-time and also using SLM, view the properties of these remote elements and optionally add them to local performance and/or SLA profiles.
Perform any of the following administration tasks using the ICA:
Create, edit, start, and stop adapters remotely
Create and edit operations remotely
Create and edit automations remotely
Set audit alarms so they pass from the ICA server to the local server under the Administration branch
