Overview

Configuration of OMEGAMON® monitoring products and the components of the shared Tivoli® Management Services infrastructure uses parameters for setting and storing configuration values. With the Parameter Generator (PARMGEN) configuration method, you edit the parameters in a set of configuration profiles to configure all the installed products and components in a runtime environment. Then you submit a series of jobs to create the runtime environment with the parameter values you specified. Most parameters are provided with default values that you can accept or change. Some parameters are included in the runtime libraries by default, and others are excluded by default.

The PARMGEN method can be used for creating new runtime environments and for upgrading existing ones that were created from product versions for which the PARMGEN configuration method was enabled.

This reference contains information about the parameters common to all agents and components in a runtime environment. For agent-specific parameter information, see the documentation for each product.
