Configuring global default inventory object selection

To globally configure the selection of default Inventory objects for users, modify the portal.properties files. This is useful for filtering environments with large volumes of data that may be impacted by browser limitations. For new users who have never logged into the portal, the objects defined with this setting are shown selected when they log in. For existing users, this property can be used to reset a users environment when large volumes of data can present issues with certain browsers.

The portal.properties file is located here:

Linux:

/opt/aptare/portalconf/portal.properties

Windows:

C:\opt\aptare\portalconf\portal.properties
  1. Update the following section:

    portal.ocn.defaultVisibleObjectType=HOST,ARRAY,SWITCH,BACKUPSERVER,
    VM_SERVER,VM_GUEST,
    DEDUPLICATION_APPLIANCE,DATASTORE,EC2_INSTANCE,S3_BUCKET,
    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT,AZURE_VIRTUAL_MACHINE 
  2. Restart the Tomcat Portal services after making your modification.
