Additional Weighted Attributes

CA GovernanceMinder user and resource entities can have an unlimited number of attribute fields. Any of these attribute fields may be used as statistical weighting factors for an audit process.

The default CA GovernanceMinder audit properties file (default-properties.xml) provides placeholders for 12 attributes and their corresponding weight values. When you import a configuration file that has more than 12 attributes, define the additional attributes in the audit properties file.

To add attributes to the audit properties file

1. Determine the number of attributes in the configuration file you imported.
2. In the CA GovernanceMinder Portal, click Administration, Settings, Audit Property Settings.

   The Audit Properties page appears.

3. Click Browse. Navigate to the following folder of the system on which you ran the CA GovernanceMinder installer:
   • For JBoss/Windows implementation:

     gm_install\rcm-websphere\rcm-conf\audit\parameters\
     

   • For AIX/WebSphere implementation:

     gm_install\Server\eurekify-jboss\rcm-conf\audit\parameters\
     

   Note: gm_install is the CA GovernanceMinder installation directory.

4. Copy the default-parameters.properties file and rename the copy.
5. Select the copy and click Open.

   The file is saved to the CA GovernanceMinder database. The file appears in the list of audit properties files.

6. Edit the audit properties file you created.

   The Edit Audit Properties screen appears.

   Placeholder properties for weighting attributes have the following format:

   evaluation.weight.field.n
   

   Note: n is a number from 1 through 12.

7. Add more placeholder properties to match the number of attributes in the configuration file you imported. Use the same naming convention, and increase the value of n in each property name.
8. Click Done.

   Changes are saved to the properties file.

9. Go to Administration, Universes.

   The Universe screen appears.

10. Edit the target universe for the imported configuration.

    The Edit Universe screen appears.

11. In the Audit settings file field, specify the audit properties file you modified and click Save.

    The target universe uses the audit properties file with additional weighting factors.
