Sections in configuration files
Prerequisite properties can be grouped under a set of sections in configuration
files, with each section representing a data type category. Sections are optional in
configuration files.
The naming convention for the section title is:
[category_name:category_value]
where:
v category_name is the multicharacter code that represents the data type category
v category_value is the multicharacter code that represents an allowed value for the
Each category name and its value must be delimited by a : colon and enclosed by
[] square brackets.
You can have multiple data type categories by combining section titles, thereby
restricting prerequisite properties to that set of specified categories only.
[category_name:category_value][category_name:category_value]
For example, to specify prerequisite properties that apply to a machine running
32-bit, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11, Itanium operating system:
[OSType:SUSELinuxEnterpriseServer11][OSArch:64-bit][CPU:Itanium]
For all platforms, you can use the | logical OR symbol to use either or data type
categories. For example, to have any of the environment variables set to True, the
combination of section titles is:
v UNIX systems
v Windows systems
Important: The position of the | logical OR symbol is different between Windows
and UNIX systems. For UNIX systems, the set of section titles are enclosed by one
set of [] square brackets only with each section title separated by the symbol. For
Windows systems, the symbol delimits each complete section title with associated
[] square brackets.
For Windows systems only, you can use the ! logical NOT symbol to exclude a
data type category. For example, to exclude Windows Server 2003 R2 variant, the
combination of section titles is:
[OSType:Windows Server 2003][!OSType:Windows Server 2003 R2]
Table 6 on page 15 outlines the supported data type categories and associated
allowed values.
