Shared Policy Group

The Shared policy group includes the following policies for shared software delivery functionality. You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

Calendar: Job calendar default value

Indicates whether the postpone job calendar feature is enabled. If set to False, the calendar is disabled when the calendar API returns, stating that no calendar is defined, the daemon is in error, or there is a process error. If set to True, the calendar is enabled.

Default: False

Codepage: File database default read codepage

If software delivery encounters files in the file database without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when reading the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 2

Codepage: File database default write codepage

If software delivery encounters files in the file database without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when writing to the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 3

Codepage: File database force write codepage

If software delivery encounters files in the file database with or without a [Locale] section, a value of True forces writing the file with the specified write codepage.

Default: True

Codepage: File transfer default read codepage

If software delivery encounters file transfer order files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when reading the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 2

Codepage: File transfer default write codepage

If software delivery encounters file transfer order files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when writing to the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 3

Codepage: File transfer force write codepage

If software delivery encounters file transfer order files with or without a [Locale] section, a value of True forces writing the file with the specified write codepage.

Default: True

Codepage: Order file default read codepage

If software delivery encounters distribution order files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when reading the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 2

Codepage: Order file default write codepage

If software delivery encounters distribution order files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when writing to the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 3

Codepage: Order file force write codepage

If software delivery encounters distribution order files with or without a [Locale] section, a value of True forces writing the file with the specified write codepage.

Default: True

Codepage: Reginfo default read codepage

If software delivery encounters reginfo files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when reading the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 2

Codepage: Reginfo default write codepage

If software delivery encounters reginfo files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when writing to the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 3

Codepage: Reginfo force write codepage

If software delivery encounters reginfo files with or without a [Locale] section, a value of True forces writing the file with the specified write codepage.

Default: True

Codepage: Software Detection default read codepage

If software delivery encounters software detection files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when reading the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 2

Codepage: Software Detection default write codepage

If software delivery encounters software detection files without a [Locale] section, it uses the value of this parameter to select the codepage when writing to the file. Valid values are as follows: 1 = system ANSI, 2 = system OEM, and 3 = UTF8.

Default: 3

Codepage: Software Detection force write codepage

If software delivery encounters software detection files with or without a [Locale] section, a value of True forces writing the file with the specified write codepage.

Default: True

Distribution: Distribution seal

Specifies that a seal be placed on the files during distribution. The string is case-sensitive and may not be longer than 32 characters. Valid characters are: a–z, A–Z, and 0–9.

Note: The same seal string must be entered both at the enterprise manager and at all domain managers.

Default: empty

Event: ASCII code of character to use when replacing space in events

Specifies which ASCII character to use when replacing space characters in parameters passed to events.

Note: Choose a value with care. For example, 00 is not good because it terminates strings.

Default: 20

Event: Replace space characters in events

If True, enables replacement of space characters in parameters passed to events.

Default: False

NOS: Network Operation System used

Specifies the Network Operation System (NOS) that this computer is currently running. Valid values are MS (Microsoft Network), NFS (UNIX Network File system), and NONE (none). This setting impacts the way agents access shares on scalability servers and how the DSM Explorer and CLI transfer files to remote software delivery managers.

Note: If the scalability server or manager does not expose shares, this policy should be set to NONE.

Default: NONE, <locally managed>

NOS: NOS-less agents attached

Indicates whether the domain manager and the scalability server support NOS-less agents connected to the server. If Yes, the server forces the creation of the compressed package needed by the NOS-less target computers. If No, the server attempts to determine the need of this file.

Note: The NOS: NOS-less attached policy is used in conjunction with NOS: NOS-less on the fly.

Default: Yes

NOS: NOS-less installation temporary directory

Specifies the installation path addressing the temporary directory for NOS-less installations.

Default: empty, <locally managed>

NOS: NOS-less on the fly

Indicates whether the scalability server supports NOS-less agents connected to the server. Valid values are as follows:

True

The server creates the compressed file, if needed, optimizing CPU and disk usage.

False

The server does not create the compressed files.

Default: True

NOS: Request a specific Network Operating System

Indicates whether a specific network operating system is requested.

Default: empty

Software Library access: Password

Specifies a password to be used by agents when accessing the scalability server library share. If you do not want to store the values in clear text in the configuration store, comstore.xml, use the sd_setcnf command locally on the scalability servers to set the encrypted values, for example:

sd_setcnf Shared ArchiveAccessUserID theDomain\theUser /e 

Then:

sd_setcnf Shared ArchiveAccessPassword thePassword /e

The values are then stored in comstore.xml in encrypted form. Note that in order to do this locally, this policy must be set to <locally managed>.

Default: empty, <locally managed>

Software Library access: Use symbolic links

Indicates whether symbolic links, or junction points, are used on software delivery servers running Windows or UNIX. In Windows, you must use file system type NTFS v5 (or later).

Default: True

Software Library access: UserID

Specifies a user ID to be used by agents when accessing the scalability server library share. If you do not want to store the values in clear text in comstore.xml, use the sd_setcnf command locally on the scalability servers to set the encrypted values, for example:

sd_setcnf Shared ArchiveAccessUserID theDomain\theUser /e

Then:

sd_setcnf Shared ArchiveAccessPassword thePassword /e

The values are then stored in comstore.xml in encrypted form. Note that in order to do this locally, this policy must be set to <locally managed>.

Default: empty, <locally managed>

Time Zone: Local time deviation between EM-DM and DM-SS

Specifies both the local time deviation between enterprise and domain managers and the local time deviation between a scalability server and its upstream domain manager.

Note: This value should be set in the configuration file for each scalability server.

Default: 0
