How do I change the default interval in between repository saves in SMARTS?



By default, the rps file of IP domain gets saved every 6 hours and SAM domain gets saved every hour.  This can be changed using the dmctl utility.  The below commands should be run from BASEDIR/smarts/bin:

The command to check the current setting is:
     ./dmctl -s <domain_name> get ICF_PersistenceManager::ICF-PersistenceManager::checkpointPeriod
This command will return the default value in seconds: 21600 (6 hours) for IP domain & 3600 for SAM domain.

The command to change the settiing is:
     ./dmctl -s <domain_name> put ICF_PersistenceManager::ICF-PersistenceManager::checkpointPeriod XXXXX
XXXXX = The amount of time in seconds that you would like to change the repository save time to.

For example, if you wanted to change the setting to 3 hours, you would run the following command:
     ./dmctl -s <domain_name> put ICF_PersistenceManager::ICF-PersistenceManager::checkpointPeriod 10800

Additional Information

The autosave feature is designed to only save when there is no active discovery.

In case you want to define manual save of repository instead of the default setting save, set Autosave option to False. By default, Its True.
 

[root@linvm bin]# ./dmctl -s TEST-AM-PM get ICF_PersistenceManager::ICF-PersistenceManager | tee
