After looking back at backups from years ago, I found some .vnmrc entries 
that I used to use at different customers.  I'm curious if anyone is still 
using them.  I have a ticket open with CA to see if they're still viable, 
but thought I'd query the Spectrum community to see if anyone still uses 
them:

always_randomize_first_poll=1
mdl_act_dist_factor=1800

These entries were used to randomize polling and I believe the 
mdl_act_dist_factor was a timer used in setting up randomizing the 
polling.  Anyone remember more information?


Some other entries I currently user in my .vnmrc file are as follows:
ctrace=true                                     <==  Turns on 
Communication Tracing (for troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to 
the VNM.OUT)
strace=true                                     <==  Turns on Security 
Tracing (for troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to the VNM.OUT)
CORBATRACE=true                         <==  Turns on Corba Tracing (for 
troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to the VNM.OUT)
MDLACT_DEBUG=true                               <==  Turns on Tracks 
models as they activate (for troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to 
the VNM.OUT)
debug=true                                      <==  Turns on General 
debugging (for troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to the VNM.OUT)
procedure_error_file=procedure_error.txt        <==  New in 9.x for 
tracking issues with Event Procedures.  Haven't seen anything in our file, 
so our Event Procedures must work correctly!
event_disp_error_file=eventdisp.txt             <== Tracks issues with 
EventDisp files.  Very helpful in finding issues with new Event handling.

Anyone else want to share undocumented .vnmrc entries?

The following can also be added to the .locrc file.
ctrace=true                                     <==  Communication Tracing 
(for troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to the LOCSERV.OUT)
strace=true                                     <==  Security Tracing (for 
troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to the LOCSERV.OUT)
CORBATRACE=true                         <==  Corba Tracing (for 
troubleshooting - will add lots of entries to the LOCSERV.OUT)
