Resolution

The Smarts SAM system default configuration settings are stored in ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration class and instance "ICS-System Defaults". The following sections explain how to view, change, and apply changes for these settings in a Smarts SAM environment.

• Viewing Smarts SAM system default configuration settings:
  • To view the Smarts SAM system default configuration settings, run the following dmctl command:

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s INCHARGE-SA get ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration::"ICS-System Defaults"

• The following shows the ICS-System Defaults contents returned by this command: 

Properties of ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration::ICS-System Defaults:
BroadcastEventStateOnRestart = TRUE
CompanionUIHostname =
CompanionUIPath = /presto/files/system/mashlets/LaunchCUI/index.html
CompanionUIProtocol = https
CreationClassName = ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration
Description = Configuration of System Defaults
DisplayName = System Defaults
IsUseHierarchicalAcknowledge = TRUE
LastChangedAt = 1340370081
Name = ICS-System Defaults
RMITimeOut = 60
SMTPServer = localhost
ServiceName =
ackInterval = 300
archiveInterval = 14400
auditLimit = 100
enable = TRUE
localNotifProps = FALSE
numOfWorkerThreads = 2localNotifProps = "Fetch Local Notification Properties"
numOfWorkerThreads = "Number of Worker Threads"
IsUseHierarchicalAcknowledge = "Hierarachical Acknowledge"

• Changing Smarts SAM system default configuration settings: 
  • The following shows how to change the Smarts SAM system default configuration settings for the properties highlighted above:

• Fetch Local Notification Properties: To change the default setting and enable Fetch Local Notification Properties from the command line, you must run both of the following dmctl commands:

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <SAM Domain> put ICS_NLManager::ICS-NLManager::localNotificationProperties TRUE

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <SAM Domain> put ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration::"ICS-System Defaults"::localNotifProps TRUE

• Hierarchical Acknowledge: The following shows the dmctl command to change the default IsUseHierarchicalAcknowledge setting to FALSE:

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <SAM Domain> put ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration::"ICS-System Defaults"::IsUseHierarchicalAcknowledge FALSE

• Number of Worker Threads: The following shows the dmctl command to change the default numOfWorkerThreads setting to 10:

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <SAM Domain> put ICS_SystemDefaultsConfiguration::"ICS-System Defaults"::numOfWorkerThreads 10

• Applying changes made to the Smarts SAM system default configuration settings using dmctl
  • To apply any changes made to the Smarts SAM system default configuration settings, you must run a reconfigure operation using the following dmctl command:

<BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <SAM Domain> invoke DomainConfigHandler::Domain-ConfigHandler reconfigure
