Understanding the directory and file structure for the remote device agent
The table below lists the directores and files used by the BMC Network Automation remote device agent. The remote device agent uses only the directory in which it is installed, C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BCA-Networks-Agent on Microsoft Windows or /opt/bmc/bca-networks-agent on Linux.
The remote device agent does not use a separate data directory, as the server does.
The paths in the following table are shown in Linux format. The Windows directory structure is the same except for the use of the forward slash (/).
