Viewing and Changing Configuration Files

This section explains how to access the uce.rc configuration file. It is strongly recommended that you do not change this file; open for viewing only. To make changes to the configuration of an application, change the .uce.rc override file.

The server, Dependency Manager (DM), agents, and the console each has a uce.rc file:

Server - /usr/local/uce/_server/cgi_bin/uce.rc
Dependency Manager - /usr/local/uce/engine/bin/uce.rc
Agents (on the host) - /opt/local/uce/agent/bin/uce.rc
Console - ~/.uce_console/uce.rc (where ~ is the home of the installation user)

The most common configuration parameters are offered for viewing and changing from within the console, in the Settings window.

You can overwrite other values of the factory default configuration file with the .uce.rc override file, which is stored in the same directory as the uce.rc file.
uce.rc file - Complete list of factory default parameters and values
.uce.rc file - User configured environment created by ezInstaller, contains only those parameters that override the factory defaults

To view all parameters, open the uce.rc file. To override a parameter, copy the parameter line from the default file (close without saving) to the .uce.rc file and make the change in the parameter value.

The following table shows the commands to open override files.

Note –
Use a text editor, such as emacs, gedit, or vi to edit the files. The vi text editor is used in this document.

Configuration File	Syntax
to open console configuration file	`vi ~/.uce.console/.uce.rc` If you log into the console as a user, this directory is your /home. If you log into the console with root permissions, this directory is under /root.
to open agent configuration file	`vi /opt/local/uce/agent/bin/.uce.rc`
to open dependency manager (DM) configuration file	`vi /usr/local/uce/engine/bin/.uce.rc`
to open Server configuration file	`vi /usr/local/uce/server/cgi_bin/.uce.rc`

When you change a value with a copied parameter to .uce.rc, the new value is always applied, until you delete the line. The next section explains how to override configuration values for one session.
