# Activating Features on Selected Clients

In the module activation configuration file, add an override subobject after the value. The override node changes the active/inactive values written in the main node or submodule node depending on the architecture, operating system, or host.

It has seven child options:

The arch, os, and host follow this format:

<arch|os|host> : <value> : <true|false>

override
{
    type=list
    os:.*:true
    arch:.*:false
    host:mnl.*:false
}

If the machine's os, host, or arch matches the specified regex pattern, then the active value of the main node will be set to the value configured on this override node.

If the child options have different Boolean values, the last one to match the regex will be the active value. In the example above, the os has a regex pattern of .* and its value is set to true, while the host has pattern of mnl.* and a value of false, then the active value will still be false if the hostname starts with mnl.

The exclude-arch, exclude-os, and exclude-host follow this format:

<exclude-arch|exclude-os|exclude-host> : <value>

override
{   
    type=list
    exclude-os:win.*
    exclude-arch:.*64.*
    exclude-host:(?i)mnl.*
}

If the machine's exclude-os, exclude-host, or exclude-arch matches the specified regex pattern, then the active value of the main node will be excluded.

For example, you want to activate DSLS Autoconfigurator on all hostnames starting with mnl, except on RHEL machines and mnl1555win:

31| dsls
32| {
33|     display=DSLS
34|     description=Job for autoconfigurating DSLS License Servers.
35|     active
36|     {
37|         type=bool
38|         value=true
39|         override
40|         {
41|             type=list
42|             host:(?i)mnl.*:true     
43|             exclude-os:rhel.*
44|             exclude-host:mnl1555win
45|         }
46|     }         

Another example, you want to activate FreezeMonitor on all machines with Windows 64-bit operating systems:

12|  standalone
13|	 {
14|		display=Optimizer Agent
15|		description=Job to log, suspend, or terminate idle application
16|		active
17|		{
18|			type=bool
19|			value=true
20|         override
21|         {
22|             type=list
23|             os:win.*:true 
24|             arch:64-bit:true
25|         }
26|		}

Save the changes in the module activation configuration file.

To immediately reflect the changes on the client machine, delete the dist-config folder and dist-config.[platform].tar.gz file in the temp directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Log\temp. Then, follow the instructions in the Manual File Distribution to a Client section.

In the module activation configuration file, add an override subobject after the value. The override node changes the active/inactive values written in the main node or submodule node depending on the architecture, operating system, or host.

override
{
    type=list
    os:.*:true
    arch:.*:false
    host:mnl.*:false
}

If the machine's os, host, or arch matches the specified regex pattern, then the active value of the main node will be set to the value configured on this override node.

If the child options have different Boolean values, the last one to match the regex will be the active value. In the example above, the os has a regex pattern of .* and its value is set to true, while the host has pattern of mnl.* and a value of false, then the active value will still be false if the hostname starts with mnl.

The exclude-arch, exclude-os, and exclude-host follow this format:

override
{   
    type=list
    exclude-os:win.*
    exclude-arch:.*64.*
    exclude-host:(?i)mnl.*
}

If the machine's exclude-os, exclude-host, or exclude-arch matches the specified regex pattern, then the active value of the main node will be excluded.
