About configuring the Endeca JCD

The jcd.conf settings control how the Endeca JCD itself behaves; for example, what port it listens to and what method it uses to log errors.

The Endeca JCD configuration file, jcd.conf, contains two types of information:

General system settings for the JCD
Security settings that control access to the JCD

These settings are JCD-specific, not job-specific. By contrast, the definitions for the jobs that an Endeca JCD runs are defined in the Control Interpreter’s control script.

Important: JCD settings are defined in the JCD configuration file (jcd.conf). Individual job parameters are defined in the Control Interpreter’s control script.
