Saving a change file

Use this procedure to save a change file. You would perform this procedure to apply these changes to one or more agents some time in the future.

Before you begin

Before you begin to save a change file, make sure you have completed the following prerequisites:

• You have read Configuring the BMC PATROL Agent
• You have read Overview of the xpconfig configuration utility and Overview of xpconfig functions.
• You have started the xpconfig configuration utility.

The change file you save contains entries only for the variables marked with an asterisk; the others are default variables with the default value and are already in the config.default file.

To save a change file

1. Use one of the following methods:
   • If you want to save the file to the same name, select File > Save.
     The change file is saved.
   • If you want to save the file under a different file name, select File > Save As.
     The Configuration File dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the change file or type the name of the change file.
3. Click OK.
   The change file is saved.
