Universal Command Server for Windows - Configuration

Configuration
UCMD Server configuration consists of defining runtime and default values. This section describes the UCMD Server configuration options.
Manager Override
A UCMD Manager can specify certain UCMD Server configuration options when it makes its request for command execution to the UCMD Server. The UCMD Manager command line option -server (SERVER_OPTIONS) is used to specify UCMD Server options.
Which options are available for manager override depend on the UCMD Server platform and release. UCMD Server configuration options specify a manager override option (see Universal Command Server Configuration Options) only if applicable. If override is not specified, no UCMD Manager override is available.
The UCMD Manager is not notified of override errors. The UCMD Server logs the error and continues processing the request.
Configuration File
The configuration file provides the simplest method of specifying configuration options whose values you do not want changed with each command invocation.
The UCMD Server configuration file name is specified in the UCMD Server component definition. The default name is ucmds.conf.
Although configuration files can be edited with any text editor (for example, Notepad), the Universal Configuration Manager application, accessible via the Control Panel, is the recommended way to set configuration options.
The Universal Configuration Manager provides a graphical interface and context-sensitive help, and helps protect the integrity of the configuration file by validating all changes to configuration option values.
Note
For any changes made directly to the UCMD Server configuration file to become active, a Universal Broker refresh is required, or the Universal Broker service must be restarted. Changes made by the Universal Configuration Manager do not require any additional action for the options to become active.
