      • Click Start > All Programs > Novell Operations Center > Configure Novell Operations Center.

      • At the DOS prompt, run customizer from the \OperationsCenter_install_path\bin directory.

    The following window opens:

    Configuration Manager Window
  2. To use Configuration Manager (some basic actions):

    • Click either the Components or Tasks tab, then select a pane from the list.

      • Components: This tab has all of the available settings, separated according to component.

        See Section 2.2, Understanding Configuration Settings for descriptions and instructions on each of the component-related settings.

      • Tasks: This tab has options for Networking, Java Runtime, and Logging, subdivided into these three categories.

    • To display a tooltip description of a setting, hover the mouse over the field or drop-down list.

    • If you installed only the Event Manager, configure only the options on the Event Manager pane (located on the Components tab).

  3. After making changes, click Apply to save the changes; or click Revert to revert to previously saved values.

  4. Continue with Section 2.3, Setting Up Configuration File Backups.
