4.1.5 Procedure for using configuration files to configure processing

You can use the configuration file to make changes to certain settings, including the time at which processing starts and whether a device is to be considered scrapped after JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent is uninstalled. The settings in the configuration file are applied after the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 service is restarted.

For details about the properties that can be specified in the configuration file, see Lists of properties in the manual JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 Overview and System Design Guide.

To apply settings using the configuration file (jdn_manager_config.conf):

Add settings to the configuration file.

The configuration file (jdn_manager_config.conf) is stored in the following folder:

JP1/IT-Desktop-Management-2-installation-folder\mgr\conf

The following table describes the definitions you can set in the configuration file:

Property	Description	Setting values	Default value
`State_AfterAgentUninstalling`^#1	Specifies whether the system interprets uninstallation of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent as scrapping of the device, or merely the uninstallation of the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent software.	`0`: Handle as uninstallation `1`: Handle as scrapping device	`0`
`Report_Data_MakeTime^#4`	When to compile data for reports	`00:00` to `23:59`	`23:00`
`Report_Digest_MakeTime^#4`	When to create digest reports	`00:00` to `23:59`	`06:00`
`DB_MentenanceTime^#4`	When to perform database maintenance	`00:00` to `23:59`	`05:00`
`ChangeHistory_GetTime^#4`	When to acquire revision history data	`00:00` to `23:59`	`00:00`
`OpLog_DB_DeleteTime^#4`	When to maintain the database of automatically acquired operation log data	`00:00` to `23:59`	`01:00`
`DeviceAutoMaintenanceTime^#4`	When to start maintenance processing if device maintenance is enabled	`00:00` to `23:59`	`23:00`
`AgentStartMenu_Display`	Settings for the display of start menu items for an agent due to distribution of Agent Installer and agents	`ON`: All start menu items for the agent are displayed. `OFF`: None of the start menu items for the agent are displayed.^#2 `SELECT:xxx,xxx,...` : Select the start menu items to be displayed. The following lists the menu items that can be specified for `xxx`. To specify multiple menu items, separate them by using commas (,). `IDR`: Register ID `UINF`: End User Form `PSM`: Package Setup Manager `RCCHA`: Remote Control Agent - Taskbar appearance `RCREQ`: Remote Control Agent - Requester Wizard `RCAGT`: Remote Control Agent - Remote Control Agent `ATAIT`: Administrator Tool - Automatic Installation Tool `ATUSB`: Administrator Tool - Register USB Device `ATSET`: Administrator Tool - Setup `ATPACK`: Administrator Tool - Packager `ATSEND`: Administrator Tool - Send Inventory For example, if you want to display Package Setup Manager and Register USB Device, specify the following: `SELECT:PSM,ATUSB`	None
SDM_Mapping_Name	Specifies whether to map the smart device name registered in JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Smart Device Manager as the host name, computer name, or device name displayed in the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 operation window,	`0`: Do not map^#3 `1`: Map	`1`
Mgrsrv_Patch_AutoPackageKind	Set whether to automatically acquire update program or not	`0`: Do not automatically acquire update program `1`: Automatically acquire update program	`1`
ExcludeNetworkGroup^#5	Settings to suppress the network group automatic generation	32 Other values cannot be specified.	None
AbortDeviceIdentify^#6	Settings that do not perform identification when registering devices	Specify one or more MAC addresses The MAC address is specified by 17 characters, including separators. Alphabetic characters are not case sensitive. The separator for the MAC address specifies ":" or "-". If you specify more than one MAC address, separate the items by commas (,). For example, if you specify 00:05:9a:3c:7a:00 and 00:09:0f:fe:00:01, specify the following: 00:05:9a:3c:7a:00,00:09:0f:fe:00:01 The maximum number of MAC addresses that can be specified is 30.	None
DisableNCListUpdate^#7	Settings to suppress automatic update of network control list	Specify one or more MAC addresses Specify one or a combination of the following: Duplicate MAC addresses on multiple devices The MAC address is specified by 17 characters, including separators. Random MAC Address Specifies a random MAC address and a forward match of up to 17 characters. Alphabetic characters are not case sensitive. The separator for the MAC address specifies ":" or "-". If you specify more than one MAC address, separate the items by commas (,). For example, if you specify 00:05:9a:3c:7a:00 and 00:09:0f:fe:00:01, specify the following: 00:05:9a:3c:7a:00,00:09:0f:fe:00:01 Forward matches are specified, including "$". For example, if you want the first "02:05:", to specify a matching MAC address, specify the following: 02:05:$ The maximum number of MAC addresses that can be specified is 100.	None
NetworkControlListWarningThreshold	Alert threshold of the Network Control List	0 to 262140	162140
NetworkControlListNoticeOption	Set whether to notify notification items on the home screen when the number of network control list registrations reaches the warning threshold and the limit is reached	`ON`: Notify `OFF`: Not notify	ON

#1:: If the management server does not receive the uninstallation notification from the agent, its device information will remain unchanged in the system regardless of the option you specify. In this case, take action such as manually deleting the device information. For devices for which Network Monitor is enabled, the device inventory is not deleted. After disabling Network Monitor, you need to delete the device inventory manually.
#2:: In the case of the Citrix XenApp and Microsoft RDS server, displaying start menus of agents is not supported, and therefore all the start menus must be hidden from view.
#3:: If 0 is specified, the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 operation window displays the following information as the host name, computer name, and device name: a combination of the user name, phone number, and model name in the smart-device information obtained from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Smart Device Manager, separated with colons (for example, BobBrown:09012345678:iPhone).
#4:: When changing the time from the default value, in order to avoid increasing the load on the management server due to overlapping processing, please set each setting value shifted by the same time from the default. For example, when shifting by 8 hours, set the process being executed at the default of 23:00 to 7:00 and the function executed at default 00:00 to 8:00.
#5: Does not create a network group when the subnet mask information is signaled by 255.255.255.255, and prevents the state of increasing the number of network groups. If the device does not belong to any network group, it belongs to the "Unknown" group.
#6: Specify duplicate MAC addresses on multiple devices. If the MAC address notified by the device matches one of the MAC addresses specified in the setting value, the device will not be identified.
#7: If the MAC address notified by the device matches one of the MAC addresses specified in the setting value, the network control list will not be updated.

The following is an example of a configuration file setting:

# 
# Configuration file 
#
# Time for collecting revision history
ChangeHistory_GetTime=00:00

The settings in the configuration file are applied after the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 service is restarted.
