Edit a Policy Using a Configuration View

As configuration views are dynamic, only the basic steps for editing policies using a configuration view are described here. Settings that are displayed in gray are unmanaged, that is, configurable on a remote computer, or have not been set.

To edit policies using any configuration view

1. Select a policy to edit.

   A description of the policy appears in the Description field.

   Note: For additional help with a policy, see the Configuration Parameter Nodes section of the DSM Explorer Help.

2. Change the parameter value by selecting a different value from a drop-down list or by entering a value in the edit field.

   A value may be a string, number, or Boolean entry, depending on the type of parameter. A dot to the right of a field indicates the current value is the default value, that is, the value is inherited from a default policy.

   Note: The Use Default Value option sets the value back to the default value, and the Make Locally Managed option lets the agent on the target system decide about these parameters.

3. Click the relevant button, for example, Job Control or Database in the Common Configuration configuration view, to access a policy that is available in a child dialog.

   The appropriate dialog appears.

4. Change one or more parameter values, and then click Save.

   You are returned to the main dialog of the configuration view.

5. Click Clear to discard your changes and start over.
6. Click OK to save your changes.

   The main dialog of the configuration view closes.

7. Reseal the policy.
