ruler Command—Select Properties to Display

Valid in AC and native environments

The ruler command defines the ruler for a class, and so lets you define the set of properties of a class that CA ControlMinder displays.

The ruler command only applies to the hosts of the current session. The properties of each host are displayed in a separate list. If you change hosts, the ruler command does not change the display of properties in the new hosts.

The following users can issue this command:

Users with the ADMIN, AUDITOR, or OPERATOR attribute.
Users who have access read in class ADMIN for the class whose ruler they are trying to set. For example, if you have access read in class ADMIN for the record representing class TERMINAL, you can set the ruler for class TERMINAL.

This command has the following format:

ruler className [props( all| propertyName [,propertyName...])]

className

The name of the class whose display you want to change.

[props(all | propertyName [,propertyName...])]

Specifies the properties to be displayed.

If you omit the props parameter, CA ControlMinder displays the names of the properties that are in the current ruler.

all: Specifies that all the properties of the class to be displayed.
propName: Specifies a CA ControlMinder property to be displayed. You can specify up to 40 properties, separated by spaces or commas.

Examples

The user admin wants CA ControlMinder to display only two properties for each user: the owner and the user who is notified about changes.
```
ruler USER props(NOTIFY, OWNER)
```
The user admin wants to display the properties in the current ruler for class USER.
```
ruler USER
```
The user admin wants CA ControlMinder to revert to the default ruler, which is to display all the properties in the class USER.
```
ruler USER props(all)
```
