Configuration File

Configuration File — File containing settings for the Data environment

Introduction

ProLinga-Data comes with a configuration file where various variable settings can be entered. Variables like the name of the host where the Data Web Service is running for instance. Default installation of ProLinga-Data will put the default configuration file prolingadatcfg.xml in the etc directory.

A default configuration file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

There is a main section for the client program and for the local/stand alone programs. The setup of this configuration file is such that it can be combined with configuration files from other ProLinga projects.
