Setting Package Policy Options
Package Policy Manager's logging facility enables you create a log file that records the details of policy analyses and potential problems, such as conflicting package policies. Use the Global Options dialog to control the level of detail recorded to the Package Policy Manager's logging file when you run a Compliance Analysis.
To specify the Options for Package Policy Manager:
1 In the Package Policy Manager's Tools menu, choose Options. The Global Options dialog is displayed.
2 By default, policy analysis data is saved to a log file named PPM_Log.TXT in the Vector Asset Management directory. If you want to create a different log file, enter the location and name of the new file in the Log File field.
For example, to save the log file as PPM.Log in the LOG directory on the C drive, type: C:\LOG\PPM.Log.
3 Select an entry in the Logging Level list to specify the information you want to include in the log file when you run the policy analyzer.
4 Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog. The options are used the next time you run the Analyzer.
Choosing the Site Database
By default, Package Policy Manager works with and saves its results to the Console’s currently selected database. However, if your organization maintains multiple site databases, you can choose the database you want to work with.
To select another site database, type the Data Source Name (DSN) of the database you want to work with in the Database field, then click OK to close the dialog and load the Package Policy information for the database.
