Windchill System Administrator's Guide

site.xconf
Site-Specific File
three sample internal XCONF files that then are used by Windchill to update
referenced property files:
xconfmanager
or
System Configurator
When you use the System Configurator to update properties, Windchill always
propagates the changes to the corresponding property files. For additional
information about using the System Configurator, see Using the System
Configurator.
When using the xconfmanager, you must explicitly tell it to propagate XCONF
file changes. To propagate changes using the xconfmanager, you must include the
-p option. For information about using the xconfmanager, see Using the
xconfmanager Utility.
Whenever you change a property setting using either the System Configurator or
the xconfmanager, Windchill creates backup XCONF and property files of all
files that are updated in the .xconf-backup directory where Windchill is installed.
The file names for the back up files are modified to include a 3-digit number that
identifies the backup file order. For example, the first three backup files created
for the site.xconf file are named site.000.xconf, site.001.xconf, and site.002.xconf.
Windchill also maintains an internal cache containing the latest XCONF file
information and maintains other internal XCONF files that it uses to determine
what property files need to be updated. Do not manually modify these files.
The following sections provide information about the site.xconf file and the
xconf.dtd file, which is used to validate all Windchill XCONF files.

PTC-Supplied Configuration Files
The site.xconf file is an XML file that is formatted according to the xconf.dtd. The
file is automatically updated to contain an element for every property setting
change that is made through either the System Configurator or the xconfmanager.
The configuration elements included in the site.xconf file are as follows:
