<DMS_Name>

CA ControlMinder maintains specific DMS settings it uses under the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\Pmd\DMS_Name

The Pmd\DMS_Name registry key contains the following registry entries:

_Min_Retries

Defines the number of failed attempts the Policy Model makes to connect to a subscriber before it considers it unavailable.

Default: 4

_Retry_Timeout

Defines the time, in minutes, that the Policy Model waits before trying to resend an update to an unavailable subscriber, after the minimum number of attempts specified in _Min_Retries has been made.

Default: 30

_Shutoff_Time_

Obsolete.

Active_Policy

Defines the Policy Model name.

Always_Propagate

Specifies whether the Policy Model propagates commands when there is an error. By default, the Policy Model always sends commands for propagation. If you set this to no the Policy Model will not send command when there is an error.

Default: Yes

Auto_Truncate

Specifies if sepmd truncates the updates file if you execute sepmd -t without specifying either auto or the offset.

Values: Yes—sepmd automatically truncates the update file if no sepmd -t parameter is specified, No—sepmd does not truncate the update file if no sepmd -t parameter is specified

Default: Yes

Filter

Defines the full pathname of the filter file for the update file.

No default.

force_auto_truncate

Specifies whether CA ControlMinder truncates the update file even if there are no subscribers to the Policy Model.

You can truncate the update file manually (sepmd -t), and CA ControlMinder also truncates the file automatically based on a separate configuration setting (trigger_auto_truncate) that defines the event that triggers automatic truncation.

Note: If all subscribers to the Policy Model are "Out of sync", the Policy Model effectively has no subscribers.

Default: Yes

Parent_Pmd

Defines the names of parent PMDBs from which this Policy Model accepts updates.

No default.

trigger_auto_truncate

Defines the size of the Policy Model update file, in megabytes, that triggers an automatic truncating of the update file.

If you set this entry to 0, CA ControlMinder uses the hard-coded default value (100 MB). If you use a value that is greater than the upper limit, CA ControlMinder uses the upper limit value.

Type: REG_DWORD

Limits: 1 - 2000 MB

Default (DMS__ and DH__WRITER): 1024 MB

Default (all other PMDBs): 100 MB

UseEncryption

Specifies whether update information that is saved to the updates.dat file is encrypted.

Values: 0—Do not encrypt the updates.dat file, 1—encrypt the updates.dat file

Default: 0
