4.5 Edit IM Configuration window

The Edit IM Configuration window is used to edit the system hierarchy managed by IM Configuration Management. The Edit IM Configuration window has a tree display area, a Lower Host Information area, and a Hosts area. The tree display area displays the system hierarchy in a tree structure. The Lower Host Information area displays the hosts positioned lower than the host selected in the tree display area. The Host List area lists the hosts that can be added to the system hierarchy.

The following figure shows an example of the Edit IM Configuration window.

When the user selects the Acquire update right check box, the user can edit the system hierarchy. When a user has acquired the update permission and edits the system hierarchy, other users are unable to edit the system hierarchy.

Tree display area

Displays the system hierarchy in a tree structure. The user selects a host displayed in the tree display area in the Edit IM Configuration window, and then edits the system hierarchy. Dragging a host selected in the tree display area, and dropping it in the Host List area deletes the host from the system hierarchy. The following table lists the items that are displayed in the tree display area.

If the user selects a host in the tree display area and right-clicks it, the user can cut, paste, add, delete, and replace the host, and set and release the base manager.
