Siebel Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide > NQSConfig.INI File Reference >

Rules for Siebel Analytics Configuration File Parameters

The Siebel Analytics Server reads the initialization file each time it is started.

If a Siebel Analytics Server detects a syntax error while loading, it logs the error to the NQServer.log file, located in the Log subdirectory in the Siebel Analytics software installation directory. There may also be a summary message in the system log relating to the error.

You need to correct the error and start the Siebel Analytics Server again. Repeat this process until the server starts with no errors.

Note the following about each parameter entry in the NQSConfig.INI file:

• Entries need to be within the section to which the parameter belongs (Repository, Cache, General, and so on).
• Each entry needs to be terminated with semi-colon ( ; ).
• Any syntax errors prevent the Siebel Analytics Server from starting up. The errors are logged to the NQServer.log file.

Adding Comments to the Siebel Analytics Configuration File

You can add comments anywhere in the NQSConfig.INI file. Comments need to begin with either of the following:

#

//

Any text following these comment characters up to the end of the line is ignored when the Siebel Analytics Server reads the initialization file.

Changing Siebel Analytics Configuration File Parameter Entries

Parameter entries are read when the Siebel Analytics Server starts up. If you change an entry when the server is running, you need to shut down and then restart the server for the change to take effect.
