Preserving agent configuration changes
Advanced users can apply override values to component customization. Applying

About this task
- These instructions are for Linux and AIX agents. For a list of the agent product codes and the commands for stopping and starting the agents, see Using agent commands.
- The Windows agent process preserves configuration changes by design: Updated variables in the kpccma.ini file, where pc is the product code, are kept in the Override Local Settings section. These variables are used during each configuration to update the Windows registry entries that the agents use at run time.
