The Fabric Manager contains the following configuration files that contain the Sys Style value:
FFM-PlatformType.conf: Used by the Forward! system
ClearPath-PlatformType.conf: Used by the Forward! system in a ClearPath environment
By default, the Fabric Manager is configured to use Sys Style codes of the Forward! system. You can edit the default Sys Style. However, you must have Field Engineer or Administrator privileges to modify the Sys Style value. The updated Sys Style value is displayed in the Event console when a Call Home event is generated for that platform. However, the System Summary tab on the Fabric Manager user interface continues to display the default Sys Style value.
If you wish to edit the default Sys Style and configure it to use the ClearPath Sys Style, do the following:
Using PuTTY, log on to the Fabric Management Platform as the root user.
Execute the following command to check the status of the Fabric Manager services:
# rcffmservices status
If the services are running, stop the Fabric Manager services by using the following command:
# rcffmservices stop
Execute the following command to open the “FFM-PlatformType.conf” file. This file located in the directory “usr/local/ffm/common/jetty”:
cd /usr/local/ffm/common/jetty
Edit the Sys Style value for each key present in the “FFM-PlatformType.conf” file using an appropriate editor; for example, vi editor.
Execute the following command to start the Fabric Manager services:
# rcffmservices start
The updated Sys Style value is displayed in the Events console when a Call Home event is generated for the system.
If your system is configured to use the ClearPath Sys Style and if you wish to configure it to use the Forward! Sys Style, do the following:
Using PuTTY, log on to the Fabric Management Platform as the root user.
Execute the following command to check the status of the Fabric Manager services:

Execute the following command to locate the “FFM-PlatformType.conf” file:
