Saving Configuration Files

The configuration parameters for a Comm. Bridge are saved in two distinct files, an initialization file, and a target server file. You can save these configuration files using either the default file names or choose your own file names.

The default name of the initialization file is IEFCBN.INI. This file contains:

The log file name
Current log level
Name of server configuration (.srv) file
Statistic refresh state and interval
Message Language dll name used to determine which of the supported languages is used when writing status information to the log file.
Idle client timeout state and interval
Windows Service configuration data, if registered as a Windows Service
Configuration parameters required for the client connections

The default name of the target server configuration file is IEFCBN.SRV. This file contains all the configuration parameters required for server connections

Retaining the .INI and .SRV extensions aids in keeping track of the descriptive nature of the files' functions. It is also recommended that you use the same file name prefix for a given instance as it makes it easier to distinguish the set if files related to a particular Comm. Bridge.
