Configuring the Module

Configuration of the module depends partly on the module. You can provide automatic configuration as part of the installation process for your module. Alternatively, you can provide the steps and suggestions as part of the end user documentation. If you want users to be able to set configuration parameters for your module, you can store configuration parameters in a configuration file. The parameters can then be retrieved by the module whenever the module starts. See Chapter 4, Storing Module Data for information.

For any module, you must decide whether to run the module as a subagent or a dynamically loading module. See Chapter 6, Deploying Modules for more information.
