Start a remote control session

The IBM® BigFix® Remote Control controller and target components can be used to establish remote connections between each other to monitor or control the target system.

There are two types of remote control session: a peer-to-peer session that is made directly between the target and controller and a managed session that is initiated from the IBM BigFix Remote Control server. For more information about the types of session, see Definition of terms that are used in IBM BigFix Remote Control.

For more information about how to end a remote control session, see the IBM BigFix Remote Control Controller User's Guide.
