5. Tivoli Management Environment provides centralized management and a single point of control for data distribution to groups of systems. In the Tivoli environment, a profile provides a container for application-specific information about a particular type of resource. Profiles can be specialized and configured, distributed across a network, and applied to a diverse set of machines, according to a subscription paradigm. The profile feature is scalable with the number of distributed systems.

20. The most appropriate values for the configuration parameters heavily depend on the operational conditions at the target. In ITM Version 5.1 a default setting is given, which the user may change during the configuration phase. In the future, we envision an Adaptive Manager running at the target whose function is to tune the configuration parameters of the resource models according to the operational conditions of the hosting environment.
