Software Delivery Configuration File

The casdaconf.cfg is shipped and configured with a default version to auto-deploy the Asset Management agent only. Additional agents can be deployed individually, as part of a CA Server Automation package group, as part of a CA Server Automation software template, or as part of a provisioning action when you use the Additional Mgmt Agents option in the user interface.

The casdaconf.cfg file is located in the Install_Path\CA\productname\conf directory. Use a text editor to edit this file.

Configuration parameters include the following:

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_LoggerCategory=sdadapter

Defines the logger category for the software delivery adapter.

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_HTTP_Protocol

Defines the protocol for the software delivery adapter host.

Default: https

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_Port

Defines the listening port for the software delivery adapter host.

Default: 443

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_PackageList_Sync_Interval

Specifies the time interval for software delivery adapter synchronizing the package list from the software delivery server. The software delivery adapter polls the software delivery server package or procedure group catalog and synchronizes this list with a list maintained by CA Server Automation. This attribute sets the frequency in which the two lists are synchronized.

Default: 43200000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_ImageList_Sync_Interval

Specifies the time interval for software delivery adapter synchronizing the OS image list from the software delivery server.

Default: 600000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_Imaging_job_Sync_Interval

Specifies the time interval for software delivery adapter synchronizing the OSIM imaging job status from the software delivery server.

Default: 360000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_Packaging_job_Sync_Interval

Specifies the time interval for software delivery adapter synchronizing the software package job status from the software delivery server.

Default: 30000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_Sync_Interval

Specifies the time interval to prevent WS timeout.

Default: 300000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_CCM_Run_System_Discovery_Profile_Initial_Delay

When the CCA agent is successfully installed through a package job submitted by the software delivery adapter, a discovery profile is run. This attribute sets the number of seconds that elapse before the discovery profile runs after the software delivery adapter detects that the CCA agent was successfully installed.

Default: 2000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_CCM_Run_System_Discovery_Profile_Max_Retry_Times

Specifies the number of retry attempts to run a discovery profile when an error is detected contacting the CA Configuration Automation web service.

Default: 5

Specifies the time interval between attempts to run the Run System Discovery Profile processing when an attempt fails.

Default: 60000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_Stage_SD_Agent_Time_Out

Specifies the time-out period for staging the software delivery agent to a scalability server.

Default: 360000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_New_Package_Entry_State

Specifies the default entry state for new software packages that are added to CA Server Automation after the software delivery adapter detects their presence. Valid values are unmanaged or managed.

Default: unmanaged

Specifies the time interval that the software delivery adapter updates the imaging job queue.

Default: 120000

Limits: milliseconds

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_CLI_TIMEOUT

Specifies the default timeout value for the CLI.

Default: 60

Limits: minutes

CONFIG_KEY_SDA_PROVISIONING_TIMEOUT
