How You Use a PMDB to Propagate Configuration Settings

When you edit a Policy Model's configuration, the new configuration values are propagated to the Policy Model's subscribers.

The following process describes how configuration updates are propagated to a Policy Model's subscribers:

  1. You edit one or more of the Policy Model's configuration values.
  2. The Policy Model writes the new configuration values to the virtual configuration file.

    Note: The virtual configuration file does not contain values for the audit.cfg file. The Policy Model does not write any changes you make to this file to the virtual configuration file.

  3. The Policy Model sends the new configuration values to its subscribers.
  4. selang commands update each subscriber with the new configuration values.
