Propagate


Use this tab to specify the fields in this profile that you want propagated to all records that currently reference or will later reference this profile.

Force Propagation (checkbox)
Instructs CASP to reset all target record values back to the profile value, even if you have overridden them in some individual target records. It does not, however, replace an actual value with null if null would be invalid. For example, if the target record specifies a queue manager, and the profile record does not specify a queue manager, but specifies that the queue manager field be propagated, the existing queue manager is not replaced with null.

Field Name
Lists all the fields you can propagate to records that reference this profile.

Propagate Value
A value of true means this value will be propagated; A value of false means this value will not be propagated. You can specify which field values you want to propagate individually by clicking on the value in the right window to toggle it between true and false, or you can click the Propagate All or Propagate None buttons if you want to specify them all.

Note: If you have modified the profile record and you are propagating values to existing target records (that is that is, the business element, client, node, or bridge records that already reference the profile), the propagation proceeds as follows after you click on the OK button:

  1. Any fields marked False on the Propagation tab are not propagated to the existing records.

  2. For those fields marked True, the CASP Directory Administrator compares the original profile values (before you updated them) for each profile field with the values in the target record, and one of the following occurs:
