Enable Maintenance Synchronization

The CA SOI Dashboard provides an Administration page that lets you enable maintenance mode synchronization that a use case supports.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration tab.
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to CA SOI Insight Manager Configuration.
3. Click the plus sign (+) next to the server you want to configure.
4. Click Synchronization Configuration.
5. Select enabled in the IsInMaintenance Property Synchronization pane.

   This control enables maintenance mode synchronization in all domain managers that a use case supports. The connectors must have the IsRemotable control enabled.

6. Click Add Formula in the IsInMaintenance Property Reconciliation Formula Record pane.

   A drop-down list appears for selecting the reconciliation formula for the IsInMaintenance property. Note that this formula only affects reconciliation on the IsInMaintenance property, not other properties.

7. Select the appropriate reconciliation formula.

   If you select Single Source of Truth, the MDR drop-down list appears.

8. (Single Source of Truth formula only) Do the following:
   • Select the domain manager to use as the single source of truth in the MDR drop-down list. If you do not see an entry that should appear in the MDR drop-down list, verify that the UCF Broker is running and that all connectors are running with the IsRemotable control enabled. You can define multiple sources of truth by adding another formula. The first single source of truth takes precedence over other selections.
   • Select the Accept null value check box to accept any IsInMaintenance value provided by the single source of truth, even a null value, as the reconciled property value to synchronize in all participating domains. If you leave this check box cleared, a null value in the single source of truth causes the Synchronizer to evaluate the next formula for the reconciled IsInMaintenance value.
9. (Optional) Complete Steps 6-8 to add as many reconciliation formulas as necessary.

   The Synchronizer evaluates the formulas in the order they appear on the page, with the first formula taking precedence. You can have multiple sources of truth or multiple formulas to calculate the reconciled value if the first formula does not apply (the source of truth returns a null value, for example).

10. Click Submit.
11. Restart the CA SAM Application Server service.
