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. Modifiable Field Field Description Possible Values Value Definition The field contains one or more parameters used to accomplish a specific task within the category. The field is used to describe precisely what function the field parameter is performing. This field identifies all of the possible values that can be used within the field parameter. This field defines how the program will carry out certain functions depending on what value is associated with the field parameter. 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 DO NOT EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINES: © Copyright IBM Corp. 2004 51
