Saving the Client Manager Configuration

The Save Configuration dialog is unique within the Client Manager, as it is the only dialog whose use can be tailored. During the first execution following Client Manager installation, the Client Manager presents a series of first time use configuration dialogs. One of these dialogs asks if you want the Client Manager to save userids and passwords to the Client Manager configuration files. If, during the initial Client Manager configuration, you indicate that you want to save user ids and passwords, the Save Configuration dialog contains an additional check box. This check box allows users to designate whether they want userids and passwords saved to the configuration files. If they choose not to save userids and passwords, the check box is not displayed on the Save Configuration dialog.

Using the following steps, the Client Manager configuration can be saved while a Client Manager is active:

1. From the Client Manager main window, select File, Save.
2. On the File – Save Configuration dialog, verify that check boxes for the Initialization file and Server Configuration file are checked.
3. Click OK to return to the main dialog.
4. There is no need to stop and restart the Client Manager to allow the new configuration settings to take effect. Updates to the Client Manager are dynamic and take effect while the Client Manager is active.

Note: If you change file names from within the File – Save Configuration dialog the current configuration is saved under these names. This is similar to the Save As option in other programs.

Upon exiting the Client Manager, the Save Configuration dialog appears to allow the user to save updates. This dialog appears only if the user modified the active Client Manager configuration.
