Issue/Introduction
The 'smpolicysrv -stats' command can dump the Policy Server statistics into the 'smps.log'. The Policy Server can also be configured to do this automatically on a recurring basis. In versions prior to r12.8.5, this had to be done using a script scheduled in either a cron job or Windows Scheduler. As of Siteminder Policy Server r12.8.5, this can now be configured in the Policy Server to be run automatically.
Environment
PRODUCT: Siteminder
COMPONENT: Policy Server
VERSION: r12.8.5 and higher.
Cause
In versions prior to r12.8.5, the Policy Server could only dump statistical data into the 'smps.log' file when run manually. If you wanted to dump statistics on a recurring basis automatically, it could only be accomplished using a script scheduled in either a cron job or Windows Scheduler. As of Siteminder Policy Server r12.8.5, this can now be configured in the Policy Server to be run automatically.
