Policy Status is Not Executed

Symptom:

I have enabled policy verification. When I deploy a policy, the policy does not deploy and the policy status is Not Executed.

Solution:

Policy verification found one or more errors in the policy. You must fix the errors before you can successfully deploy the policy.

To successfully deploy the policy, follow these steps:

1. Review the errors.

   You must identify if the errors occur in the policy or in the CA ControlMinder database before you can fix them.

   1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management click Policy Management, Policy subtab, expand the Deployment tree in the task menu on the left, and click Deployment Audit.

      The Deployment Audit page appears.

   2. Define a scope for the search, then click Go.

      A list of deployment tasks, that match the scope of the search you defined, appears.

   3. Click the name of the deployment task that did not deploy.

      Information about the deployment appears, including a list of the errors in the policy.

2. (Optional) If the error is in the CA ControlMinder database, do the following:
   1. Fix the error in the CA ControlMinder database.
   2. Do one of the following:
      • Use the policydeploy utility to fix the deployment task.

        Fixing the deployment task removes the Fail status on the deployment task, and, if the deployment is successful, changes the status of the policy on the endpoint to Deployed.

      • Use CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management or the policydeploy utility to deploy the policy again.

        Deploying the policy again creates another deployment task. The status of the previous deployment task with errors remains Fail. If the deployment is successful, the policy status on the endpoint is Deployed.

3. (Optional) If the error is in the policy, do the following:
   1. Create a new policy version that does not contain the error.
   2. Use CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management or the policydeploy utility to upgrade the policy.
