View Retrieve Results in Detail

Introduction

This page displays the results of a retrieval. The retrieve function retrieves the current configuration values on a system that correspond to the parameters specified by a selected profile.

If a parameter includes classes that are not instantiated, all instances discovered while configuring the system are listed in the result. Classes that are already instantiated are not rediscovered. You can also save this result as an AIX Profile Manager profile.

Fields

Catalog filter
Select a catalog to display. The table is updated to display the parameters of the selected catalog. The table only displays the parameters of one catalog at a time. The first catalog in the list is selected by default.
Parameter type filter
Select which types of parameters are displayed in the table. Possible values follows:
  • All parameters
  • Reboot (only the parameters that require a reboot of the system before their value can be changed)
  • Disruptive (only the parameters that require a disruptive operation to be performed on the system before their value can be changed)
  • Dynamic (only the parameters that could be set on real time are displayed)

Actions

Save as profile
Save the selected result of a retrieve action into a new AIX Profile Manager profile. A profile thus saved is visible in the Profiles view of the AIX Profile Manager plug-in. It can later be linked to a template and deployed on other systems.
Actions
Display a list of available actions. This list include actions that are provided in the toolbar actions, as well as actions that are common to all tables. For common table actions, see "Table navigation in IBM® System Director.
Search the table
Search the table with a string or phrase. When you type a string in this field, matching strings are highlighted in the currently displayed table. When you click Search, all the pages of a table are searched for the provided string. The rows that contain the string are displayed in the table.

Attributes

Parameter
The name of the parameter.
Type
The type of the parameter: reboot, disruptive and dynamic.
Value
The value of the parameter. If the parameter is binary, this value is not displayed; instead the string "binary" is displayed.
Apply to
The instantiated classes to which the parameter applies. An instantiated class consists of a pair of values in the form "class name = instance value", for example, "user=root".
