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.)

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
The
field
contains
one
or
more
parameters
used
to
accomplish
a
specific
task
within
the
category.
Field
Description
The
field
is
used
to
describe
precisely
what
function
the
field
parameter
is
performing.
Possible
Values
This
field
identifies
all
of
the
possible
values
that
can
be
used
within
the
field
parameter.
Value
Definition
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

excluded.)

the
most
current

the
ISIC.PROPERTIES
file,
