| |
| === 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. |
