HP Operations Manager for Windows

Table OV_PM_PolicyType


Every row of the OV_PM_PolicyType table represents exactly one logical policy type. It contains all properties that are common for all versions of the same policy type. The Name field stores the policy type name. The EditorId field contains a class ID of the ActiveX component implementing the Policy Editor of the given policy type, which is called when a policy is created or edited. The PolicyProcessorId stores a class ID of a COM component, which is called before the policy is saved, deleted, and deployed. The IsServerPolType flag allows distinguishing policies, which users cannot deploy to a remote managed node. Users use them only for the management server configuration (server policies).

Column Name Constraint Column Type Description
PolicyTypeId PK, I1 uniqueidentifier ID of the policy type.
Name I2 varchar(64) Name of the policy type that appears in the GUI. It is not localized.
EditorId   uniqueidentifier Class ID of the ActiveX component implementing the Policy Editor.
PolicyProcessorId   uniqueidentifier Class ID of a COM component, which is called before the policy is saved, deleted, and deployed.
AllowMultiplePolicies   bit If true, users can deploy more than one policy of this type to a managed node.
IsServerPolicyType   bit If true, users can deploy policies of this type only to the local management server itself (so-called server policies).
InternalName   varchar(64) Name of the policy type that the HP Operations agent can recognize. For example, the Logfile Entry and the Windows Event Log policy type in HPOM for Windows map to the policy type "le" (logfile encapsulator) of the HP Operations agent.
IsPrimaryPolicyType   bit Used for HTTPS-based nodes that are managed by both an HPOM for Windows and an HPOM for UNIX server. HPOM for UNIX 8.x recognizes the policy types that the agent supports. If an "le" policy is deployed to the node from HPOM for UNIX, and afterwards the user calls the synchronize operation for this node in HPOM for Windows, Policy Management must determine if this policy should be displayed as a Logfile Entry or a Windows Event Log policy. The property IsPrimaryPolicyType determines which of the two HPOM for Windows policy types takes precedence.
