Configuration Manager has these main task areas:
System Setups — Includes options to set up Source Systems, Target Databases, Warehouse Languages and so on.
Functional Configuration — Includes the Perform Functional Configurations link, which you can use to invoke FSM to perform Functional Configuration.
Setup Data Maintenance and Administration — Includes options to monitor the configuration settings that your Functional Developers have made using FSM, and to make changes where required. For example, a Functional Developer may have used a Task in FSM to set the value of INITIAL_EXTRACT_DATE to '2005-01-01'. If you want to change this value to '2007-01-01', you can use the Manage Data Load Parameters tab in Configuration Manager to edit the value directly, instead of reassigning the Task in FSM.
Export and Import Configuration — Includes options to back up your setup data and migrate it to a separate environment.
