More generally, the system configuration is the specific definition of the elements that define and/or prescribe what a system is composed of. Alternatively, the term 'system configuration' can be used to relate to a model (declarative) for abstract generalized systems. In this sense, the usage of the configuration information is not tailored to any specific usage, but stands alone as a data set.A properly-configured system avoids resource-conflict problems, and makes it easier to upgrade a system with new equipment. The following is a basic SC XML System Configuration: Description:This provides information about a single 'site' (MyHouse) and specifies that there is one host with user-setup and mysql-db components. The host must have an account on it for a user named mysql, with appropriate parameters. Notice that the configuration schema requires no XML tags that are Windows- or UNIX-specific. It simply presents data as standalone information – with no pretense for how the data is to be used.
