Issue/Introduction:
Symptoms:
In a situation where the SDM logs are filled with the following messages:

It may be necessary to configure SDM to suppress the NSM integration. Note: this is only applicable if the NSM integration is not necessary.
Environment:
The steps described applies to SDM r14.1, 12.9 in both AA and Conventional architecture.
Resolution:
In order to remove the processes from SDM responsible for the NSM integration proceed as follows:
1. Navigate to NX_ROOT\samples\pdmconf
2. Do a backup copy of "pdm_startup.tpl"
3. Edit te file and search for:
----------------------------
[ procset FILTERING ]
; --------------------------
tngfilter
tngwriter
ehc
; UNICNV_REPLACE
; TNGCNV_REPLACE
4. Comment the lines containing tngfilter, tngwriter and ehc. They should look like:
----------------------------
[ procset FILTERING ]
; --------------------------
;tngfilter
;tngwriter
;ehc
; UNICNV_REPLACE
; TNGCNV_REPLACE
Once this is done, any execution of pdm_configure will keep the changes.
5. For AA architecture, this must be done on all servers: Background, Standby and Application.
6. For Conventional architecture, this must be done on the Primary server only.
6. In case it is not necessary to run SDM configuration at this point, the same modifications can be applied to file NX_ROOT\pdmconf\pdm_startup.
7. Next it is necessary to recycle the SDM services to have the changes recognized by CA SDM.
