Procedure for creating a weights import datafile

You use the weights.conf file as the basis for creating a weights import datafile.

To create a weights import datafile:

1. In the installation area from which the source Global Manager is invoked, go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and type the following command to open the weights.conf file:

                  sm_edit conf/ics/weights.conf
               

2. Add your weight definitions to the file.

3. Save and close the file. The modified version of the weights.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics directory in the installation area.

   If the Global Manager was running before you created your weights import datafile, perform the procedure in “Reloading weight and event filter elements” on page 93 to force the Global Manager to load the weight elements defined in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics/weights.conf file.

   Thereafter, every time that you modify the weights import datafile, perform the procedure in “Reloading weight and event filter elements” on page 93 to force the Global Manager to reload the weight elements defined in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics/weights.conf file.
