about
General information about the infx configuration system.
infx uses a two level approach to setting up. Firstly, any settings are taken from the instance config file. Then the overall config from /infx/local/etc is applied.
When loading config files, if the file is not found in /infx/local/etc, infx will then load the copy from /infx/etc.
You should always copy config files from the overall etc directory into your local one before changing them.
format
The config.ini file is broken into sections, each denoted with a header. Example:
|
1 2 |
;start of infx section [infxenv] |
The semi-colon (;) is used to indicate comments, anything following is ignored.
Each config file can only contain one of each section. The section continues until you start a new one and specify a new section header.
The config.ini file is also used to store lists, these are denoted with a different section header.
|
1 2 |
;start an alias definition [[alias]] |
You can specify multiple of these sections. Depending on the type of definition, two formats are available.
single line:
|
1 |
[[alias alias="L0" cmd="backup" type="dbs" level=0]] |
multiple lines
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
[[sqlhosts]] server=${newinst} protocol=onipcshm host=${host} service=${newinst} options= note=local shared memory connection |
To prevent the config.ini from growing too large, you can break it into sub config files, and include them in the main config file.
|
1 |
[include sub-infx-onbar.ini] |
Will load either the file /infx/local/etc/sub-infx-onbar.ini or /infx/etc/sub-infx-onbar.ini.
All sub files are included before the config information is parsed.
|
1 |
[include sub-${host}.ini] |
Will load the file based on the current host name. Use this file to load settings for a specific host.
