DXserver Configuration Files
DXserver Configuration Files
DXserver stores configuration information in a structured directory tree. The
easy-to-use, hierarchical tree defines the conventions and the strategy for
managing the directory system that can extend to multiple servers, multiple
machines, and multiple platforms.
The configuration files should be managed from a central station. The directories
are shared across all servers to ensure consistency in system operation. This
architecture also lets you manage version of the configuration files, because you
can store these files in a document or source control system.
DXserver File Directories
After installation, DXserver uses the following directories:
DXserver
|__ bin
|__ config
| |__ access
| |__ autostart (UNIX only)
| |__ database
| |__ knowledge
| |__ limits
| |__ logging
| |__ replication
| |__ schema
| |__ servers
| |__ settings
| |__ ssld
|__ logs
|__ samples
|__ pid
|__ install (UNIX only)
|__ uninstall (UNIX only)
bin
This directory holds all binary executables and batch files for the product.
config
This directory holds the current configuration files, and some Readme files
for your reference. DXserver always starts with the configuration
information stored in this directory. We recommend that you give read-only
permissions to files in these directories to prevent accidental overwriting.
Each subdirectory contains the configuration file(s) that deal with a
component of the DXserver configuration.
access
Access control rules.
autostart
(UNIX only) DXserver uses the autostart directory to track the servers
that must start at the same time as the operating system.
