This chapter discusses:
Section 30.1, "Configuration Overview (Release 9.1, Update 4)"
Section 30.8, "Troubleshooting the Configuration of EnterpriseOne Server Instances"
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.
The Work with Configurations section provides the following:
Compare Instances
Save or Restore
Configuration Summary
Save or Restore allows users to:
Save a copy of the current configuration for later reference.
Restore the configuration to a previously saved state.
Export a saved configuration to a zip file format (by clicking on the link to the configuration name)
Import a previously exported configuration from another instance or server.
When you click an instance name from the list of servers the Management Console displays another page called server name: instance name.
In the General section of the page you can:
Start or stop a Managed Instance.
Refer to the section entitled: Start or Stop a Managed EnterpriseOne Software Component in this guide.
Change a Software Component Version.
Refer to the section entitled: Change a Managed EnterpriseOne Software Component in this guide.

Two or more managed instances may be selected to identify configuration differences. Each selected instance will also be compared with the default configuration of the server group to which it belongs.
This section describes:
To create an instance comparison:
Click Compare Instances in the Work With Configurations section.
Select the check box for the instances to compare.
Select the check box for Show All Values.
If selected all configuration items for each selected instance and corresponding server group(s) will be displayed. If not selected only configuration items that are not identical between the selected instances and their server groups will be displayed.
Click the Run Comparison button.
This section describes:
The comparison results appear in a new pane under the Instance Selection section.
The comparison is detailed by these columns:
Configuration Metric
Configuration items are associated into logical groupings, which are referred to as a Configuration Metric.
Configuration Item
The individual configuration item that is being compared between the selected instance(s) and their corresponding server group.
Permissions for Server Group: <Server Group Name>
Specifies configuration values.
<Instance Name>
Specifies configuration values and paths.
You can apply the Server Group default values to an instance by selecting the configuration items and then selecting the Apply Server Group Default button.
This section describes:
Permission Denied
If you receive an error that permission is denied to write to a configuration file, you need to ensure that the file is not purposely locked in a manner that prevents the user under which Server Manager is running from modifying it. You should check the file permissions to ensure the file is writable.
