Editing Configuration Files

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

From the Workspace menu, select Configuration/Monitor.
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
- Server Profile folder has the following options:
  Server Profile opens edasprof.prf
  
  Trace Profile opens ibitrace.fex
  
  FDS Profile opens suprof.prf
- User Profile folder has an option for each defined user.
  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.)
