Creating a configuration file

The WLM configuration file is simply a text file.

To create your own WLM configuration file, use one or more of the following techniques:

Determine which example configurations can be useful in your environment and modify them appropriately. For information on example configurations, see “Where to find example WLM configurations”.

Create a new configuration using:

vi or any other text editor
the WLM configuration wizard, which is discussed in the section “The easiest way to configure WLM”
the WLM graphical user interface, wlmgui

Using the wizard, the configuration syntax is almost entirely hidden. With wlmgui, you need to be familiar with the syntax.




	NOTE: Usage of either the WLM graphical user interface or the wizard requires Java™ Runtime Environment version 1.4.2 or later. For PRM-based configurations, PRM C.03.00 or later is required. (To take advantage of the latest updates to WLM, use the latest version of PRM available.)

Enhance your configuration created from any of the previous methods by modifying it based on ideas from the following sections:
- “How to put an application under WLM control”
- “Some common WLM tasks”

For configuration file syntax, see wlmconf(4).
