# Specifying a pipeline to run in AppConfig.xml (for record output files)

The `devStudioConfigDir` attribute in the `ConfigManager` custom component specifies the pipeline to run. This topic describes the how to specify a pipeline for record output file configurations. Sample scripts are provided for record output file configuration.

To specify a pipeline to run in AppConfig.xml:

1. Edit the value of the `devStudioConfigDir` attribute in the `ConfigManager` custom component to reference the config/cas_crawl_pipeline directory. For example:

       <custom-component id="ConfigManager" host-id="ITLHost"
         class="com.Endeca.soleng.eac.toolkit.component.ConfigManagerComponent">
         <properties>
         ...
         </properties>
         <directories>
           <directory
             name="devStudioConfigDir">./config/cas_crawl_pipeline
           </directory>
           ...
         </directories>

2. Edit the value of the `configDir` attribute in the Partial update Forge section to reference the config/cas_crawl_pipeline directory. For example:

       <!—
       ########################################################################
       # Partial update Forge
       -->
       <forge id="PartialForge" host-id="ITLHost">
         <properties>
         ...
         </properties>
         <directories>
           ...
           <directory name="configDir">./config/cas_crawl_pipeline</directory>
           ...
         </directories>
