The ver_ctl server option determines how version control responds to version discrepancies between installed components on the server and client. You set this option with the Options Manager.
The ver_ctl option can have one of the following values:
(Windows client) Prompts the user to continue or quit if a version discrepancy is detected.
(Linux client) Logs a version discrepancy, but the client always completes initialization. No files are changed to correct the discrepancy.
Terminates the client if a version discrepancy is detected. The user is prevented from using CA SDM until the client is manually updated.
Ignores version discrepancies. All clients are allowed to connect.
Note: Clients can set their own ver_ctl option to DISABLE to bypass version control.
Prompts the client to upgrade the affected components to the correct version if a version discrepancy is detected. If the upgrade is successful, the client connection continues; otherwise, the client terminates. The method of upgrade depends on the version control type of the component.
Valid settings are as follows:
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
dir_ctl |
The client adds, updates, or deletes files in the directory from copies provided by the server. The directory itself is never deleted. |
file_ctl |
The client adds, updates, or deletes the file from a copy provided by the primary server. |
nxenv_ctl |
The client updates its NX.env file. |
ver_ctl |
A ver_ctl component cannot be upgraded. A discrepancy in this type of component causes the client to terminate without connecting to the server. |
