Editing a Property Key

Following system changes you may need to update the value of a property key. For example, if you change the name of the SMTP (email) server, used by your corporation to send out emails.

When you click Edit next to an existing property key, the Edit Property screen opens:

When editing an existing property, the source of the property is listed in the Type drop-down.

Save is disabled. The reason is that, for security reasons, when you edit a property key, the change is not saved directly to the properties file. Instead the updated property key value is saved to the CA RCM database.

The CA RCM Portal provides you with two databases to store your update key values:

DB_dynamic_properties

The change is immediate. You do not have to wait for the server to go offline to update the property values.

DB_static_properties

The change will take place the next time that the server is restarted.

To edit a property key

1. (Optional) In the CA RCM Properties page enter a name of a property key, or part of one, in the filter text box located below the Properties table. Click Apply Filter.

   The Properties table presents only keys that match your filter criteria.

2. Click Edit next to the property key that you want to change.

   The Edit Property screen opens.

3. Enter a Property Value in the text box.
4. Select a database Type from the drop-down list.
5. Click Save.

   The updated property appears in the Properties screen table.
