System Configuration File

Introduction

The system configuration file (ofasyscf.cfg) contains information that is used to populate the ofasyscf.db database at run time. The file contains three sections, which specify the following information:

• The location of the shared database associated with a workstation

• The location of the superior administrator's shared database

• The location of the CODE, TEMPORARY, and TASKFILE directories.

File locations

The system configuration file can be installed into the following locations:

• The SHARED directory of a Super administrator workstation

• The SHARED directory of an Administrator workstation

• The SHARED directory of a cluster

• The personal directory of a thick-client workstation

File contents

The system configuration file contains the following settings. These settings require different information to be entered depending on the file's location in your system. The location of the file in your system indicates the type of workstation or configuration that is using the information in the file.
