Config Files

This window displays the Configs in the Configs folder of the local or remote IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator server. Depending on your version of Tivoli Directory Integrator, the Config Files window displays only specific file formats of the files contained in the selected Config.

Tivoli Directory Integrator version 6.1.1 and 7.0 Configs display files with *.cfg or *.xml extensions only.

Tivoli Directory Integrator version 6.1 Configs display all the files present in the configs folder for a Tivoli Directory Integrator 6.1 server.

From this window you can load, unload and reload a Config onto a server. You can also use the Load As... action for custom loading a config. For more information see Custom Load. You must have superadmin or config admin privileges to perform these actions.

Configs are displayed in a table. See Using tables for instructions on how to use the paging, sorting, filtering, exporting, and find utilities associated with Tivoli Directory Integrator Administration and Monitoring Console tables.

You can perform actions on one config, or on multiple configs at the same time. For actions such as Load or Unload, you can select one or more configs on which to perform an action. For configs displaying a Status of Loaded, you can select Reload or Unload.

Refresh redisplays Configs on the server you have chosen. Refresh always applies to all the configs that are displayed in the table.

Note: Configs display the status Loaded in either of two conditions: a) the config has been loaded b) the config has been reloaded.

Note: You can only unload or reload a config that has been loaded.

Note: Configs display the status Not loaded in either of two conditions: a) the config has never been loaded b) the config has been unloaded.

When you successfully reload one or more configs, a message displays for each config you attempted to reload, and says whether your reload was successful or unsuccessful.
