Custom vApp configuration changes need to be synchronized across all nodes

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Governance
• CA Identity Portal
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

You customize vApp by modifying files under /opt/CA/VirtualAppliance/custom/IdentityManager or /opt/CA/VirtualAppliance/custom/IdentityPortal or /opt/CA/VirtualAppliance/custom/IdentityGovernance directory. For example, you modify /opt/CA/VirtualAppliance/custom/IdentityManager/email.properties file to configure your SMTP server.

You need to replicate this configuration on other vApp nodes. Instead of modifying or copying the file manually to the other nodes, is there a better way to synchronize?

Environment

Release : 14.x

Component : CA IDENTITY SUITE (VIRTUAL APPLIANCE)

Resolution

Yes, you can run the following alias/command:

sync_vapp_custom_content

This command will synchronize custom contents into the other vApp nodes.
