| == configuration | |
| The data set that determines how {productName} operates | |
| [[sthref2394]] | |
| === Description | |
| The configuration of {productName} is the data set that determines | |
| how it operates. Parts of this configuration determine the operation of | |
| specific parts of {productName}, 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 {productName} | |
| 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. | |
