Component configuration

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. From the Baseline Library screen, change component options, import options, and export options.

You can also configure components if you use an input file. For more information about input files, see Smart Update Manager CLI Guide. If you copy the configuration directory into a baseline, when you add that baseline to an SUM session, SUM imports the configuration settings during the inventory process.

You will need to reconfigure 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 and not exporting the configuration to the baseline directory after configuring it in SUM.
