Common Features

Dialog box oriented – Each program presents a series of dialog boxes to collect configuration information. The dialog boxes include Next and Back to navigate forward and backward through the dialog boxes.
Parameter validation - You cannot proceed to the next dialog if a parameter in the current dialog is invalid.
Configuration saved – Saves configuration information when you click Finish, and reloads the saved configuration information the next time cse_config runs.
Batch applied – Applies updated configuration information only after completing the interview phase.
Help – most dialog boxes have Help buttons to present reminders about how to use the dialog. Clicking the Close button returns to the previous dialog.
Cancel – Click Cancel to abandon the cse_config session without applying updated configuration information to the saved configuration file or to the installed software of databases. Choosing Cancel confirms you want to cancel or return to the previous dialog.
Error Dialog – when the program detects invalid input to a dialog, it presents an error dialog explaining the problem. Click Resume to return to the dialog in which the program detected the problem or Abort to leave the configuration session.
Note: On the UNIX systems, cse_config does not return the focus to the field in which the error occurred. Read the error message carefully and use the mouse or the tab key to move focus to the appropriate field.
