disable_corrective_change
Disable the modification of a resource when Puppet decides it is a corrective change.
(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)
When using a Puppet Server, Puppet knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet is managing. The normal Puppet process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.
Using the disable_corrective_change
parameter, you can disable corrective changes on the current resource.
Here is an example of this:
crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
...
disable_corrective_change => true,
...
}
When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not modify the resource and signal an error:
Error: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/parameter: change from '10' to '20' failed: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change. (corrective)
disable_corrective_ensure
Disable the creation or removal of a resource when Puppet decides is a corrective change.
(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

Using the disable_corrective_ensure
parameter, you can disable corrective ensure present or ensure absent actions on the current resource.
Here is an example of this:
crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
ensure => 'present',
...
disable_corrective_ensure => true,
...
}
When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not create or remove the resource and signal an error:
Error: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure.
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure. (corrective)
ensure
The basic property that the resource should be in.
Valid values are present
, absent
.
granted
The grants you want to make sure are granted to the db2_user
, db2_group
, or
db2_role. It is different from the
grants` property in the sense that this is not a full list of the rights, but just the rights that are granted to the user
Here is an example with an db2_user
:
db2_user {'db2inst1/MYDB/my_user':
...
granted => ['CREATETAB'],
...
}
Here is an example with an db2_role
:
db2_role {'db2inst1/MYDB/my_role':
...
granted => ['CREATETAB'],
...
}
**WARNING**
When you us both the `grants` and `granted` property, Puppet will give you a warning about conflicting values. In the end it **WILL** ensure
that the rights specified for the `revoked` property are removed. This way ensuring the most secure configuration.
grants
grants for this user or role.
All the grants this resource has. Here is an example on how to use this on an db2_user
:
db2_user { 'my_user@sid':
...
grants => ['UNLIMITED TABLESPACE', 'CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM'].
...
}
Here is an example on how to use this on an db2_role
:
db2_role { 'my_role@sid':
...
grants => ['UNLIMITED TABLESPACE', 'CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM'].
...
}
instance_name
The name of the instance.
name
The full qualified name of the role.
provider
The specific backend to use for this db2_role
resource. You will seldom need to specify this — Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.Available providers are:
- db2
- Manage an Db2 role
remarks
The comment on the object you are defining.
revoked
The grants you want to make sure are revoked from the db2_user
, db2_group
or db2_role
. It is different from the grants
property in the sense that this is not a full list of the rights, but just the rights that are NOT granted to the user
Here is an example when using db2_user
:
db2_user {'db2inst1/MYDB/my_user':
...
revoked => ['CREATETAB'],
}
Here is an example when using db2_role
:
db2_role {'db2inst1/MYDB/my_role':
...
revoked => ['CREATETAB'],
}
WARNING
When you us both the grants
and revoked
property, Puppet will give you a warning about conflicting values. In the end it WILL ensure that the rights specified for the revoked
property are removed. This way ensuring the most secure configuration.
role_name
The name of the db2 role.
roles
roles for this user or role.
All the roless this resource has. Here is an example on how to use this on an db2_user
:
db2_user { 'my_user@sid':
...
roles => ['ROLE_1', 'ROLE_2'].
...
}
Here is an example on how to use this on an db2_role
:
db2_db2_role { 'my_role@sid':
...
roles => ['ROLE_1', 'ROLE_2'].
...
