Manually editing configuration files requires extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the server. All files except VERSION.CFG are available for editing in the Web Console text editor. VERSION.CFG is created by the installation/configuration process and is only available for viewing from that page.

Procedure: How to Edit Configuration Files
  1. From the menu bar, select Workspace.
  2. In the navigation pane, expand the Configuration Files folder. You can open the following files for editing:
    • Workspace. Opens edaserve.cfg
    • Administration. Opens admin.cfg
    • Communication. Opens odin.cfg
    • Version. Opens version.cfg
    • Server Profile. Opens edasprof.prf
    • Trace Profile. Opens ibitrace.fex
    • FDS Profile. Opens suprof.prf
    • User/Group Profiles Folder. Has an option for each defined user and group.

      Note that both Server Administrators and Application Administrators can edit the user.prf file. However, Server Administrators can edit all user.prfs, while Application Administrators can only edit their own profiles.

    • Miscellaneous folder. Has the following options:
      • Server Startup Script. Opens edastart.bat
      • NLS. Opens nlscfg.err
      • Font. Opens fontuser.xml
      • Environment. Opens edaenv.cfg (When the server starts, environment variables are set according to entries in the edaenv.cfg file. If the environment conflicts with an entry in edaenv.cfg, the entry in edaenv.cfg takes precedence.)
