30.1 Configuration Overview (Release 9.1, Update 4)

Every configuration setting (*.INI, .PROPERTIES, etc.) is manageable through the management console. The configuration files still exist in the same form as prior tools releases. The management console provides a front end for modifying the configuration values and adds the following benefits:

• Every configuration item is present and documented with online help.

• A list of values, when applicable, is used for settings that have distinct allowed values.

• Changes to configuration settings are recorded for historical analysis and auditing, including the user that made the change.

• The configurations of multiple managed instances may be compared to identify differences.

• New configuration settings are merged into existing configuration files when a tools release upgrade is performed.

Configuration is accessed from the management page for an instance. Configuration settings are grouped into high level categories. Selecting a category displays all the settings contained within.

Note:

New categories are available in release 9.1.4.

Each high level category is divided into sub-categories containing the individual configuration parameters.

There is also a drop down menu that displays options for Standard and Dynamic views.

4. Import a previously exported configuration from another instance or server.

30.1.2 Configuration Summary

The Configuration Summary provides a list of all current configuration values for an instance on one page.

You should check the file permissions to ensure the file is writable.
