Input properties files

You can use property files as input for the Control Desk command-line configuration program.

The following sample input property files are provided with the Control Desk command-line configuration program.
  • DB2_Sample_input.properties
  • Oracle_Sample_input.properties
  • SQLServer_Sample_input.properties
  • WebSphere_App_Server_Sample_input.properties

These sample files are in the ibm\smp\configtools\samples directory. Each of these sample files contains properties that are associated with a specific database or application server type. They contain comments and properties you can update with values from your environment. You can then use the updated file as input for the configuration command line interface tool with the –input parameter.

All input properties, introduced from either the command line or in the input properties file, are validated before they are used. After validation is successful, the maximo.properties and install.properties files are updated with the values you provided.
