Configure the Content Utility

When the Content Utility runs for the first time, it generates a configuration file named content_utility.xml in the Installation path\CA\DSM\bin folder. You must configure this file to set the following parameters:

• Specify whether you want to export or import or both. If you choose both, the import starts only after the export is complete.
• Specify whether to include CA-defined Intellisigs in the export or import.
• Specify whether you want to process the CA Provided or Custom Created definitions or both.
• Specify the export and import server names.

The content_utility.xml looks like this after the first run:

<contentutility_configuration>
	<general>
		<datadirectory>default</datadirectory>
	</general>
	<export>
		<manager>
			<hostname>machine001.ca.com</hostname> 
  			<enabled>yes</enabled> 
  			<ca_provided>no</ca_provided> 
 			<custom_created>yes</custom_created> 
  			<ca_intellisig>no</ca_intellisig> 
  			<custom_intellisig>yes</custom_intellisig> 
  			<intellisig_detail>yes</intellisig_detail>
		</manager>
	</export>
	<import>
		<manager>
			<hostname>machine101.ca.com</hostname> 
  			<enabled>yes</enabled> 
  			<ca_provided>no</ca_provided> 
  			<custom_created>yes</custom_created> 
  			<ca_intellisig>no</ca_intellisig> 
  			<custom_intellisig>yes</custom_intellisig> 
  			<intellisig_detail>yes</intellisig_detail>
		</manager>
	</import>
</contentutility_configuration>
