Create Custom Machine Searches

Before you generate the replacement certificate, you need to create three machine searches that you run in the CA DataMinder Administration console. When you replace the enterprise certificate on your CA DataMinder servers and client machines, you will use these searches to monitor progress across your CA DataMinder enterprise.

To create these machine searches, you will copy SQL snippets (database search queries) from a CA-supplied file and save them as the following three custom searches in the Administration:

• All servers with an out-of-date Key Store
• All client machines with an out-of-date Key Store
• All machines with out-of-date Revocation List

To create custom machine searches

1. Create an Administration console search for any servers with an out-of-date Key Store.
   1. In the CA DataMinder Advanced Encryption Mode Enhancement solution package, open the CertificateSearches.txt file and copy the ‘All servers with an out-of-date Key Store’ SQL snippet.
   2. In the CA DataMinder Administration console, create a new administrative search.
   3. In the Administration Search dialog, go to the SQL tab and paste in the 'All servers with an out-of-date Key Store’ SQL snippet.
   4. Save the new search as ‘All servers with an out-of-date Key Store’.
   5. The new search is added to the Custom Searches folder in the Administration console.

   The new search is saved on the machine hosting the Administration console and is only available to you when you run the console on that machine.

   Note: For assistance with making the search available when colleagues run the Administration console on other machines, please contact CA Technical Support: http://ca.com/support

2. Create an Administration console search any for client machines with an out-of-date Key Store.

   Repeat step 1, but using the ‘All client machines with an out-of-date Key Store’ SQL snippet and saving the search as ‘All client machines with an out-of-date Key Store’.

3. Create an Administration console search for any servers and client machines with an out-of-date Revocation List.

   Repeat step 1, but using the ‘All machines with out-of-date Revocation List’ SQL snippet and saving the search as ‘All machines with an out-of-date Revocation List’.
