6.2.5 Editing the system hierarchy

Using IM Configuration Management, you can create and edit configuration definition information by adding, moving, or deleting hosts.

Edit the system hierarchy in the Edit IM Configuration window of IM Configuration Management - View.

The functions for editing the system hierarchy using IM Configuration Management are described next.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Obtaining update rights
(2) Adding hosts
(3) Moving hosts
(4) Deleting hosts
(5) Saving edited information
(6) Loading the system hierarchy

(1) Obtaining update rights

To edit the system hierarchy, you must have update rights to the configuration definition information. This prevents anyone else from editing the information, using IM Configuration Management - View on another host, while you are doing so.

To obtain update rights to the configuration definition information, in the Edit IM Configuration window select the Acquire update right check box.

If you attempt to obtain update rights while IM Configuration Management - View on another host has exclusive rights to the configuration definition information and profiles, an error message appears and the attempt fails. In this case, you must find out which user has exclusive rights in the Login User List window and revoke those rights.

(2) Adding hosts

You can add hosts to the system hierarchy by performing either of the following operations in the Edit IM Configuration window:

When you define a 3-tier configuration in the tree display area of the Edit IM Configuration window and apply the configuration to the system hierarchy, the managers defined in the middle tier will be displayed as relay managers in the tree display area of the IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.

When you move a relay manager, the agents in its domain are also moved.

(4) Deleting hosts

You can delete hosts from the system hierarchy by performing either of the following operations in the Edit IM Configuration window:

When you delete a base manager or relay manager, the agents in its domain are also deleted from the system hierarchy. An integrated manager cannot be deleted.

If you want to delete the entire system hierarchy, choose File and then New.

(5) Saving edited information

You can save edited configuration definition information in a configuration definition file (jbs_route.conf) on the host where IM Configuration Management - View is active. To do so, choose File and then Save IM Configuration in the Edit IM Configuration window.

Use the Save command to temporarily save a system hierarchy you are creating, or to manage records of a system configuration.

(6) Loading the system hierarchy

You can load the following configuration definition information in the Edit IM Configuration window:
