Adding a variable to a PATROL Agent configuration

After you open or get a configuration and it is displayed in the main window, you can edit the configuration by adding new variables. The new variables are displayed with the existing variables in the list of variables and their values. Any leading or trailing white space is trimmed from the variable name and value string before being added to the configuration. In addition, leading and trailing double-quotes are trimmed from the value setting.

Before you begin

Before you begin to add a new variable, ensure that you have completed the following prerequisites:

• You have read Using-wpconfig-Windows-to-configure-the-PATROL-Agent and Overview of wpconfig functions.
• You have started the wpconfig configuration utility.

To add a new variable to the configuration

1. Perform one of the following actions:
   • Select Edit > Add Variable.
   • Press Insert.
      The Add Variable dialog box is displayed. The variable name is initialized using the current section in the variable name hierarchy.
2. Type the name of the variable and its value.
3. Click OK.
    The variable is added to the list of variables and their values. If a variable with the same name already exists in the configuration, a prompt is displayed for a different variable name.
