Configuring components

Some components might have required or optional configuration settings. Configuration parameters include information necessary to set up the component correctly or passwords required for software installed by the component. You can change component options from the Baseline Library screen. HP SUM 6.0.0 and later stores configuration settings differently than in earlier versions. HP SUM no longer stores configuration settings in the component, it stores the settings in the HP SUM database. You will need to re-configure component settings if you:

Run the clean-cache utility.
Copy the component files to a remote server after configuring components settings on a local host.


	NOTE: You can also configure components if you use an input file.

To configure components:

On the Baseline Library screen, scroll down to the list of components, and then click Needs Configuration for each component you need to configure. Configuration options vary based on the component.


	NOTE: HP SUM 7.x does not support configuring components released prior to the HP SPP 2013.09.0(B). Use HP SUM 5.3.5 to update these components.
