Issue/Introduction

Overview of manually saving the Repository (RPS) file and details on how often it automatically gets saved. 

Environment

Smarts 10.X / 2.X

Resolution

Smarts SAM configuration changes are automatically saved to the Repository (RPS file) every hour.

 

However, you can initiate the Smarts SAM save operation manually whenever you desire and reduce the risk of losing Smarts SAM configuration changes even further.

This may be done to account for events such as unexpected or intermittent hardware/software failures that can occur in less stable environments. To manually initiate the Smarts SAM save operation to the Repository, run the following dmctl command:

dmctl  -s  <DOMAIN_NAME>  invoke  ICF_PersistenceManager::ICF-PersistenceManager  save
