This chapter describes how to edit a configuration file to ensure that it is correct for your workstation or, if you are a library supervisor, for your team's workstations.
The configuration file is a series of keywords and values that are processed when you start your image. The default configuration file is abt.ini. You can specify that a different .ini file be used when starting an image or executable with the command line option -ini:<ini_file_name>. See Command line arguments.
There are a number of operations that you must perform in the configuration file. The most important of these involve setting the parameters that control your image's access to the library. These parameters have different values, depending upon on the type of network on which the product is installed.
The installation process should create a working configuration file for you. You can, however, edit the configuration file after you install the product. You might need to do this if you are setting up configuration files for your team, or if your network setup changes.
To edit the file, open it in a text editor.
