Chapter 6: Configuring the DecisioNet System

Environment

Overview

This chapter describes how to configure the DecisioNet System

environment after the software is installed. Configuration is

accomplished using an ASCII editor, such as Windows Notepad, and

editing the parameters in the configuration files listed below. All of

these files are located in the /dnet/data directory following

installation.

• DecisioNet CBS Configuration files (dncbsconfig.xml)

• DecisioNet Configuration File (dnconfig.xml)

• DecisioNet Host Bridge Conguration file (dnhostbridge.xml)

• DecisioNet Task Manager Configuration file (taskman.cfg)

Three of these files are in XML format. XML is a mark-up language that

enables different programs to understand the structure of a file. This

facilitates the exchange of information between programs. When

editing these XML format files, care must be taken to only modify the

parameter or option setting.

The fourth file listed is the Task Manager file. This is not an XML

format file, but still may be modified using an ASCII editor. Details are

provided in the following sections on how to access and change

parameters in these files.
