Administrator Tasks - Admin Client

This section describes general File Access Manager system administration capabilities, which assist in File Access Manager management and self-monitoring. System administrator capabilities include:

  • Health Center

  • Event Viewer

  • Tasks and Scheduled Tasks

Licensing Model

File Access Manager uses an honor-based licensing method. The application does not manage or enforce these licenses.

Updating File Access Manager Software

SailPoint publishes updates to the File Access Manager from time to time as new releases, minor releases, and software patches.

When updates are available, the application can sends an email to the administrator to notify you of the update. This feature is disabled by default.

To enable the notification feature:

  1. Run the following update statement to update the database with the email address where the system can send notifications:

    update [whiteops].[system_configuration_value] set [value] = N'[ENTER DESIRED eMAIL HERE]' where [name] = N'New Version Message To'

  2. From the Scheduled Task Handler service server, edit the file %SAILPOINT_HOME%\FileAccessManager\ScheduledTaskHandler\ScheduledTaskHandlerServiceHost.exe.config

  3. In the appSettings section, change the newVersionCheckIntervalInMinutes from -1 (which means do not check for new versions) to a desired check interval, in minutes.

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Restart the Scheduled Task Handler service.

After the service restart, an email will be sent if a newer version is available for download from Compass.

Please contact your SailPoint representative for further details, and to discuss the options for upgrade.

Note

This feature requires internet access from the server.
