Storing Resolution Tables on Disk

CA ControlMinder name resolution tables are generated while CA ControlMinder is starting up. The tables should be maintained on disk, not in memory because storage in memory can lead to memory overload. Also, when the information is read into memory, it is static. Because of this, CA ControlMinder would not know of any changes made to user, group, or host information. The only way to update the tables in memory is to restart CA ControlMinder.

To keep data current, CA ControlMinder provides a lookaside database that makes sure internal name resolution tables are stored on disk.

Note: To implement the lookaside database you need to use seos.ini configuration settings. For more information about seos.ini configuration settings, see the Reference Guide.
