In the course of your work with the CA RCM Portal, you may need to duplicate a configuration, whether to use while learning the CA RCM Portal, or because you need to generate a master/model configuration set that can be used as the base line for a Universe you will create later in the CA RCM Portal. This set of configurations can be based on an existing configuration, which you would like to keep as-is. The new configuration pair can also be based on a partial configuration that you wish to investigate.
A CA RCM configuration consists of a configuration file (.cfg) a user database file (.udb) and a resource database file (.rdb). The configuration file contains references to the user and resource database files. Therefore, you cannot use the operating system’s copy/paste/rename functions in order to duplicate a configuration. You need to actually change the content of the configuration file during the process.
You can use the Trim Configuration process provided by the CA RCM DNA module to duplicate a configuration. This allows you to generate a configuration in which the new (duplicate) users and resource database files are referenced from within the new configuration file.
Note: Refer to the DNA User Guide for details of the Trim Configuration function.
Important! We recommend that when generating duplicate files for use with a Universe that you use the terms Master/Model as part of the configuration file names.
