4.1.7 Procedure for changing the settings for managing the software information of agents for UNIX or Mac
To collect UNIX or Mac software information and manage it in the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 operation window, you must modify the configuration file (jdn_manager_config.conf). By modifying this file, you can display (in the Inventory module) the UNIX or Mac software information reported by the managed UNIX or Mac computers and collected by a job from agents for UNIX or Mac. Using the displayed information, you can also manage UNIX or Mac software licenses. However, depending on the OS, more than a thousand items might be displayed, making it difficult to understand the displayed information quickly.
Note that an OS name (Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, or Mac) is prefixed to each collected software name (example: Linux-xxx).

The location of the configuration file (jdn_manager_config.conf) is as follows:
