WLM quick start: the essentials for using WLM
Creating a configuration file
Chapter 278
Creating a configuration file
The WLM configuration file is simply a text file.
To create your own WLM configuration file, use one or more of the
following techniques:
• Determine which example configurations can be useful in your
environment and modify them appropriately. For information on
example configurations, see “Where to find example WLM
configurations” on page 79.
• Create a new configuration using:
— vi or any other text editor
— the WLM configuration wizard, which is discussed in the section
“The easiest way to configure WLM” on page 79
— the WLM graphical user interface, wlmgui
Using the wizard, the configuration syntax is almost entirely hidden.
With wlmgui, you need to be familiar with the syntax.
NOTE Usage of either the WLM graphical user interface or the wizard
requires Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2 or later. For
PRM-based configurations, PRM C.03.00 or later is required. (To
take advantage of the latest updates to WLM, use the latest version
of PRM available.)
• Enhance your configuration created from any of the previous
methods by modifying it based on ideas from the following sections:
— “How to put an application under WLM control” on page 81
— “Some common WLM tasks” on page 89
For configuration file syntax, see wlmconf(4).
