Alternate Admin policies

You can create alternate Admin policies that are enforced in different situations that you define.

It is possible to create multiple Admin policies to reflect different billing strategies based on the time of the day or the day of the week. The projctl command is used to load alternate Admin policies. Previously loaded Admin policies do not have to be unloaded to load a new policy. The cron facility is used to load a policy at the a given time.

Alternate Admin policies are placed in the /etc/project/alter directory. For example, an alternate Admin policy with the name "weekend" is placed in the Admin file /etc/project/alter/weekend/admin. If this policy used aliases, they would be placed in the /etc/project/alter/weekend/alias alias file. SMIT is used to create, change, show, load, unload, and remove Admin policies. Alternate policies are addressed in SMIT by changing the current focus to the name of the policy.
