Site Configuration Classes
Site configuration classes include those classes relating to an installation of Systems Management Server (SMS) that consists of one or more computers running the SMS components.
You can configure the components of a site at any time to enhance the management of your site. Configuration information is contained in the install map and the site control file.
When you install SMS, it creates an install map. The install map describes the initial configuration of the installed features for the server, client, and SMS Administrator Console. The install map configuration data is read-only, and uses the following classes:
- SMS_SiteInstallMap
- SMS_SiteInstallItemBase
- SMS_SiteInstallItem
- SMS_SystemResourceList
- SMS_UINAL_ResourceInfo
Classes derived from SMS_SiteInstallItem use the naming convention, SMS_SII_*. Classes derived from SMS_SiteInstallItemBase use the naming convention, SMS_SIIB_*.
The site control file describes the current configuration of the site and its components. You use the following class to manage the site control file and the site configuration data:
Classes derived from SMS_SiteControlItem use the naming convention, SMS_SCI_*.
Use the SMS_SiteControlItem class and the classes derived from it, such as SMS_SCI_Component, to access and modify the configuration items contained in the site control file.
For details on managing the site control file and changing a component's configuration, see Managing Site Control Configuration.
