The Toad Group Policy Manager provides a facility by which multiple copies of Toad for Oracle within an organization can share the same set of options or feature restrictions. It consists of a Windows Service which runs on a Windows server and publishes subsets of option data to defined groups of Toad users via TCP/IP, and an Editor which is used to define option sets and user groups. Users can be restricted from changing published Toad options or permitted to alter them.
Using the Toad Group Policy Editor, policies and standards can be distributed throughout a group environment.
The Group Policy functionality consists of three parts:
- Group Policy Server
- Group Policy Editor
- Toad Policy files
IMPORTANT NOTE: This utility will ONLY work with Toad for Oracle 9.1 - Toad for Oracle 11.5. Policy Editor options added since 9.1 will ONLY work with the Toad for Oracle version in which they were introduced or higher.
Please read the Toad Group Policy Manger (TGPM) Compatibility Matrix in the TGPM Help for more information.
