ConfigurationModule
TheConfigurationModuleprovidestheabilitytocontrolclientconfigurationfilesandsoftwareversionsfroma
centralizedsystem.Clientmachinescanbeseparatedintodifferentgroupstoallowforcustomconfigurationsonthe
grouplevel.ThefollowsectionreviewstheConfigurationModuleanditsfunctions.
Hosts
TheConfigurationModulecreatesa
uniquedescriptorforeachhostentry,regardlessoftheuserorhostnameofthe
system.However,thelastreportedhostnameisusedasthedisplaynameforahostentrytoallowadminstoidentify
thehostintheDPWMS.AhostisaddedtotheDPWMSdatabaseoninstallation 
oftheEnterpriseclient,iftheclient
softwareisconfiguredtoconnecttoaDPWMSandtheDPWMSisavailable.ItwilldisplayintheUIintheDefaultgroup
afterinstallationorafterthefirstsuccessfulheartbeatintotheDPWMS.AhostwillremainintheUI,regardlessof
whether
theclientsystemstillhasthesoftwareinstalled.Ifahostneedstoberemovedfromthesystem,itcanbe
deleted.
Groups
TheConfigurationModuleappliesconfigurationfilesonapergroupbasis.Thisallowsfortheadministratortogroup
togetherhoststhatwillrequirethesameconfiguration.The
systemincludesoneDefaultgroup(whichcannotbe
deleted).TheDefaultgroupwillbethegroupthatnewclientsareaddedtoattime ofinstallation;thereforeitis
importantthatthisgroupalwayscontainsavalidconfiguration.Ifallclientswillreceivethesameconfiguration,the
Defaultgroupcanbe
usedandnoadditionalgroupsneedtobecreated.
Packages
StartingwithDPWMS2.0,theconceptofapackageisintroduced.InpreviousversionsoftheDPWMS,whenanew
versionoftheclientsoftwarewasaddedtotheDPWMS,onlytheproductinstallerwasused.Thisallowedfor
mismatched
clientsoftwareandconfigurationversions.AsofDPWMS2.0,insteadofonlytheproductinstaller,the
entireinstallationkit,or“package”,isnowisuploadedtothesystem.ThisallowstheDPWMStoassociatespecific
configurationfileswiththecorrectversionoftheclientsoftwareandensuresthatthereareno
furthermismatches
betweenclientsoftwareandconfigurationversions.
