Selecting Other Configurations to Include
Potential uses for nested files include:
•
Your support provider creates a configuration file that you can call into an existing
configuration file for your system.
•
You create separate configuration files, each for upgrading a different application,
which you can enable or disable at will in your parent configuration.
•
You create a configuration file for an application that runs on several of your
systems and call that file into a parent configuration file that is specific to each
system.
The following restrictions apply to nested files:
•
Child configuration files must be located in the same directory as the files in which
they are called. When you select configuration files in the Active Upgrade console,
only files in the present working directory are displayed.
•
If you call a configuration file, and that file itself has one or more child configuration
files, those child configuration files also become part of your configuration.
•
If a setting in a child configuration conflicts with a setting in the parent configuration,
the Active Upgrade console uses the setting in the parent configuration. Also, the
parent configuration always ignores disk selections from child configurations.
•
If you call a configuration that you created on a different system, configuration
items (for example, application services and custom actions) must be present and
applicable on the current system, otherwise the parent configuration fails the
readiness check.
To call a child configuration file into the current file
1. On the Other Configurations page, select the check box next to the configuration
files you want to call into the current file.
2. In the file window, verify that you have selected the correct configuration files. Also,
if any of the files contain additional child configurations, ensure that you are
including only the configurations that apply to the current parent file.
3. When you are finished editing the current configuration,
To remove a child configuration file from the current configuration, clear the check box
next to that configuration file. (If you need to remove a child configuration from another
configuration file, you must edit that configuration file separately.)
When you have finished specifying child configuration files, you can click Next to
proceed with the next configuration step.
