Configuration Views Node

The Configuration Views node and corresponding pane display all configuration views defined to CA ITCM. A configuration view is a customized Windows-only user interface that lets you edit configuration policies that are related to specific components or functionality. Because some configuration policies are common to multiple DSM components, for example, the CAF scheduler, and other policies are dependent on other configuration policies, configuration views summarize the relevant policies for a component or function independent of where they are actually located in the hierarchy and the DSM Explorer tree.

The configuration views display the current settings and let you conveniently edit policies as a group, rather than editing them individually using the Setting Properties dialog. Also, configuration views let you fall back to the "factory settings," that is, the DSM default settings, if necessary, if you adapted the default configuration policy previously.

In this version of CA ITCM, the following configuration views are available:

Note: Configuration views are installed with the component to which they belong. For example, software delivery-specific views like Logon Shield would be installed under the software delivery manager.
