Appendix A. Modifying the ISIC.PROPERTIES file

This appendix describes the architecture of the ISIC.PROPERTIES file. This file is
composed of information, some of which you can modify and some of which you
should not modify. In order for you to best respond to your enterprise's data
needs, you need to understand the purpose of each modifiable field and what
values are available to you. The following subsection describes a template that
identifies categories, fields, and field values. The final subsection shows an
example of the ISIC.PROPERTIES file with this template applied to it.

Template of field information

A table-style template has been applied to the ISIC.PROPERTIES file in the
Example: ISIC.PROPERTIES file section. This template includes the following
items:
v Category Description
v Modifiable Field
v Field Description
v Possible Values
v Value Definition
Category Description: There are several different categories within the file, each
category focuses on a particular function carried out by the System Information
Center program. These categories are the same as those configured in the
installation (for more information, see Chapter 2, "Installing the System
Information Center program on a server," on page 5.

Example: ISIC.PROPERTIES file

The following example loosely represents the ISIC.PROPERTIES file that is
packaged with the System Information Center program. The template described in
the previous section, however, has been applied to the file. Comment lines
(prefaced with "--" are excluded.)
Note: For the most current version of the ISIC.PROPERTIES file, see "Additional
information" on page vi
