Resolution

It is recommended that you configure and manage system defaults using the Global Manager Administration Console. If you must check the current System Default values using dmctl, note that these parameters are configured in the ICS_NotificationFactory in the following example:

Properties of ICS_NotificationFactory::ICS-NotificationFactory:
                     CreationClassName = ICS_NotificationFactory
                           Description =
                           DisplayName =
                                  Name = ICS-NotificationFactory
                           ServiceName =
                        aggregateClass = ICS_Notification
            defaultAuditTrailSizeLimit = 100
     defaultAutoAcknowledgmentInterval = 301
    defaultInactiveAutoArchiveInterval = 14402
                     notificationClass = ICS_Notification
                    notificationPrefix = NOTIFICATION-

Therefore, you could use the following dmctl command to get the InactiveAutoArchiveInterval for your currently running SAM domain:

./dmctl -b <Broker> -s <SAM_Domain> get ICS_NotificationFactory::ICS-NotificationFactory::defaultInactiveAutoArchiveInterval
