the data set that determines how \{product---name} operates
Description
The configuration of \{product---name} is the data set that determines how it operates. Parts of this configuration determine the operation of specific parts of \{product---name}, such as the following:
Services, such as the transaction service
Resources, such as databases
Deployed applications or modules, such as web applications
Clusters and server instances
The term configuration is also used to describe a part of the overall configuration, such as the transaction service configuration or the configuration of a database. In clustered environments, clusters or server instances can share configurations.
Examples of configuration data are port numbers, flags that enable or disable processes, application names, and so on. Most of these data points are name/value pairs, either hard-coded attributes or more flexibly defined properties.
The hierarchical structure of the configuration is explained in the
dotted names page. You can view and change most of the \{product---name}
configuration using either the Administration Console or the asadmin
utility and its subcommands. To list the structure of all or part of the
configuration, use the list
subcommand. To view the value of one or
more attributes or properties, use the get
subcommand. To change the
value of an attribute or property, use the set
subcommand.
