Universal Control Server for Windows - Configuration


Overview

UCTL Server configuration consists of defining run-time and default values. This page describes the Server configuration options.

Configuration File

The configuration file provides a simple method of specifying configuration values that will not change with each command invocation. This file can be edited manually with any text editor (for example, Notepad).

However, the Universal Configuration Manager application, accessible via the Control Panel, is the recommended way to set Windows 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.

The UCTL Server configuration file name is specified in the Universal Control Server component definition.

Note

In order for any changes made directly to the UCTL Server configuration file to become active, either:

  1. A Universal Broker refresh is required.
  2. The Universal Broker service must be restarted.

However, changes made by the Universal Configuration Manager do not require any additional action for the options to become active.
