Application Configuration objects

To manage a configuration file on a server, you need to create an application configuration object and at least one configuration template in the SA Library. The application configuration object is just a container for templates and optional scripts.

When you push an application configuration to one or more servers, SA does the following:

  • Generates configuration files from the configuration templates and the specified value sets.
  • Copies the generated configuration files to the servers.

The following figure shows an example application configuration that contains a template named “exports.tpl” and a UNIX shell script file named “post-exports.sh.” The “.tpl” file extension indicates these are templates.
