CPSA Optional Registry Changes

To configure the CPSA, you can edit the following automatic registry values on each host machine. You can define a list of applications you want the agent to ignore (if required) and set the log level. To do this, you modify values in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA DataMinder
    \CurrentVersion\ClientPrintAgent

Within this registry key, the registry values you can edit are:

IgnoredApplicationList

Type: REG_SZ

Data: Specifies a semicolon-separated list of applications that are exempted from CPSA control. Users are permitted to print documents using these applications. For example, you may not want to monitor the printing of documents from graphics packages.

Default: Empty list

Note: For changes to this registry setting to take effect, you must restart any relevant application.

LogLevel

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Determines the level of logging for the Client File Print System Agent. Log entries are written to the Activity log (viewable in the Administration console). For example, you can configure the agent to only log errors or important system messages.

Default: 2

The supported logging levels are:

1

Errors only

2

Errors and warnings

3

Errors and warnings, plus informational and status messages. For example, it shows storage and retrieval on every resource item.

Note: Setting LogLevel=3 will cause the log file to grow rapidly. This level of logging is provided for short-term testing and diagnostic purposes.
