Selecting Other Configurations to Include
Use the Other Configurations page to optionally call one or more existing configuration files into
the configuration file you are currently editing, so that the settings from the called files will also
apply to the file you are editing. This is known as nesting files, or creating nest files.
The configuration files that you call into the current configuration file are child configurations, and
the file from which you call the child configurations is the parent configuration.
Potential uses for the nest files include:
•
Your support provider creates a configuration file that you can call into an existing
configuration file for your system.
•
You create separate configuration files, each for upgrading a different application, which you
can enable or disable as necessary in your parent configuration.
•
You create a configuration file for an application that runs on several of your systems and call
that file into a parent configuration file that is specific to each system.
The following restrictions apply to the nest files:
•
Child configuration files must be located in the same directory as the call target files.
When you select configuration files in the Active Upgrade Console, only the files in
the current working directory are displayed.
•
If a call-target configuration files have more than one child configuration files, they also
become a part of your configuration.
•
If a setting in a child configuration conflicts with a setting in the parent configuration,
the Active Upgrade Console uses the setting in the parent configuration; the parent
configuration always ignores disk selections from child configurations.
•
If you call a configuration created on a different system, configuration items (such as
application services and custom actions) must be present and applicable on the current system;
otherwise, the parent configuration will fail the readiness check.
