Appendix F. Initialization File

Initialization File

The Log Central database management and the Log Central user interface get their initialization information from the installdir/etc/msg_processor.ini file.

To fine-tune system performance, you may wish to modify the values of some of the parameters of the initialization file. You might, for example, want to change the default values of sleep times and read intervals. Also, on some systems, you might need to specify Oracle thin drivers in the database URL.

The following table lists all the parameters that can be set within msg_processor.ini.


Properties Name	Description	Valid Values	Interested Programs
LC.URL	URL for database Examples MS SQL Server or Oracle Type-1 driver `jdbc:odbc:mngrdb` Oracle8 Type-2 driver `jdbc:oracle:oci8:@lcdbserv` Oracle Type-4 driver `jdbc:oracle:thin:@amazon: 1521:amazonProd`		`msg_processor, lc_create_schema, lc_drop_schema, msgdef_export, msgdef_import, msgdef_delete, subsystem_create, subsystem_delete, lc_user_commands`
