Configuration

Configuring ETL+ describes modifying/adjusting ETL+ settings, options, preferences or parameters.
Configuration settings allow users to tailor ETL+ to specific users needs or preferences.

In ETL+ configuration changes include adjusting parameters on


Disambiguation: Configuration vs. Maintenance

In GUI’s the config button is labels configuration, settings, options or parameters.

Changing configuration settings is also sometimes known as maintenance.

These phrases all refer to the process of modifying the settings or options of a software program or system to suit the user's preferences or requirements. This may involve changing specific parameters, such as font size or color, or adjusting more complex settings, such as security or network options.

Maintenance of settings and configurations in software refers to the process of ensuring that the settings and configurations of a software application are kept up-to-date and consistent over time. This includes activities such as updating system settings, configuration files, database settings, and other configuration parameters that are used by the software application to operate correctly.

Maintaining settings and configurations is important for ensuring the stability and reliability of the software application. Changes in the software environment or the underlying operating system may require adjustments to be made to the settings and configurations of the software application to ensure it continues to operate as intended. Additionally, software updates and upgrades may introduce new configuration options or require existing settings to be modified to take advantage of new features or address security vulnerabilities.

Effective maintenance of settings and configurations requires a systematic approach to tracking changes, documenting configuration options, and testing changes to ensure they do not introduce new issues or conflicts. This may involve the use of version control systems, automated testing tools, and monitoring tools to track changes and ensure the stability and consistency of the software application over time.

In ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), software parameters are a type of configuration item (CI) that are used to define the specific attributes of software applications or systems. Software parameters are an important aspect of IT service management as they help to ensure that software applications are properly configured and maintained to support the delivery of IT services.

Software parameters typically include configuration settings such as database connections, network settings, security settings, application settings, and other parameters that are used by the software application to operate correctly. These settings are defined and maintained within a configuration management database (CMDB), which is used to track the configuration and relationships between all of the components that make up the IT infrastructure.

In ITIL, the management of software parameters is a key part of the overall configuration management process. This involves identifying the software applications and systems that are in use, defining the specific parameters and configuration settings for each application, and tracking changes and updates to these settings over time. By properly managing software parameters, IT organizations can ensure that software applications are properly configured and maintained, which can help to minimize downtime, improve performance, and reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities.
