About Creating/Editing Configurations
You should know the following about creating or editing configurations in
ECM:
• You must be in the Configurations window to create or edit a
configuration.
To access the Configurations window from the ECM Main window, select
Configurations from the Setup menu.
• You can create configurations for:
- Devices
or
- Components of devices
• You can select a device or a device component either in SpectroGRAPH or
in ECM:
- Once you select a device in SpectroGRAPH, you have access to all sub-
components of that device and to all other devices of the same type in
the selected landscape(s).
You do not have to exit ECM to create or edit configurations for devices
of the same type or for sub-components of the selected device.
- However, if you want to edit or create configurations for sub-
components of another device (not the one selected in SpectroGRAPH),
you have to exit ECM and select that device in SpectroGRAPH.
• You can configure an entire device with all its sub-components in one step
or you can configure any sub-component separately.
• Configurations are of two types: device specific and shared.
The title bar of the ECM window tells you which type of configuration can
be displayed in that window. To change the window, select the type of
configuration you want from the View menu.
- Device specific
If you are in device specific window when you create a configuration,
the configuration will be device specific. Otherwise it will be shared.
