Creating a project definition

This procedure describes how to create a project definition. Projects represent billable entities. Each project is composed of a project number, project attribute, and project name, which collectively represent a project definition. The following scenario describes how to create a project definition from both SMIT and a command line. The following describes how to create a project definition called mktg.

Note: The information in this how-to scenario was tested using specific versions of AIX. The results you obtain might vary significantly depending on your version and level of AIX.

1. Change to root user.
2. From a command prompt, type: smit add_proj.
3. In the Project Name field, type: mktg.
4. Assign a project number to the project.For example, in the Project Number field, type 10.
5. Verify that Aggregation field is set to Off. You cannot create a project in SMIT with the Aggregation field set to On.
