Using DXmanager to Create a DSA

If you use DXmanager to create a DSA, you need to deploy the configuration.

Deploying is the process of transferring the XML configuration file from DXmanager to the DSA's host, and then reinitializing the DSAs.

When DXmanager creates a DSA, it also creates a default DSA initialization (.dxi) file. Edit this file to ensure that all of the required configuration files are sourced.

If you edit and deploy the configuration again, the initialization files are not overwritten. This means that you do not need to change the initialization files again - your customizations remain in the files.

When DXmanager removes a DSA, it gives the .dxi file an extension of .old.
