Table 2. Child elements

<Set> no 0 – 1 Configuration method definition for the set operation. This element may occur multiple times.
<Diff> no 0 – 1 Configuration method definition for diff operation.

<Property> no 0 – any Assigns a property to the parameters using the configuration method.

Usage

The <CfgMethod> element defines a configuration method that can later be referenced by a parameter using the cfgmethod attribute of the <ParameterDef> element. The parameter then inherits all the elements defined under the referenced configuration method.

Depending on the parameter, using a configuration may offer several advantages over the local definition:
  • It simplifies the catalog file, avoiding duplication of the same command line elements for several parameters.
  • It allows multiple parameters to be treated by a single command.

Example

The vmoParam.xml catalog defines a lot of parameters that all use the same configuration method. Here is a simplified version of this catalog:

<Catalog id="vmoParam" version="2.1">
 <CfgMethod id="vmo">
    <Get type="current">
      <Command>/usr/sbin/vmo -a</Command>
      <Mask name="1" value="2">[[:space:]]*(.*) = (.*)</Mask>
    </Get>

    <Get type="nextboot">
      <Command>/usr/sbin/vmo -r -a</Command>
      <Mask name="1" value="2">[[:space:]]*(.*) = (.*)</Mask>
    </Get>

    <Set type="permanent">
      <Command>/usr/sbin/vmo -p%a</Command>
   <Argument>%n=%v1</Argument>
    </Set>

    <Set type="nextboot">
      <Command>/usr/sbin/vmo -r%a</Command>
      <Argument>%n=%v1</Argument>
    </Set>
  </CfgMethod>

  <ParameterDef name="ame_maxfree_mem" cfgmethod="vmo" type="integer" />
  <ParameterDef name="ame_min_ucpool_size" cfgmethod="vmo" type="integer" />
  <ParameterDef name="ame_minfree_mem" cfgmethod="vmo" type="integer" />
  ...

</Catalog>
