Generating and editing the configuration profile

You can set up a configuration profile by using the initial values in the configuration profile member of the WCONFIG work control library as input, or by cloning and modifying an existing PARMGEN runtime environment.

A PARMGEN configuration profile, which is given the runtime environment name, contains parameter values for all the parameters in a runtime environment. You can set up a configuration profile by using one of the following methods:
  • Use the initial values that are provided by IBM® in the configuration profile member of the WCONFIG work control library as input. This method is most suitable for new customers who do not already have a configured runtime environment.
  • Clone and possibly modify an existing PARMGEN runtime environment.
As new user of OMEGAMON® monitoring agents, to create a configuration profile, complete the following steps:
  1. Edit the sample configuration profile in the WCONFIG library to contain only those agents that are installed in this runtime environment.
  2. Refer to the Configuring section of the OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above for more information on PARMGEN, and to the Scenarios and how-tos section for end-to-end instructions of various configuration scenarios.
