Comm Config Files

Each client runtime that is provided by CA Gen accesses an external configuration file as part of its processing of a cooperative flow. This external file provides the user of a client application the opportunity to configure its communication processing at execution time. This external file is known as the commcfg (Comm Config) file.

Each of the CA Gen client runtimes uses the specific commcfg file that are as follows:

Client Runtime	commcfg File Name
MFC GUI Runtime	commcfg.ini
COM Proxy	commcfg.ini
C Proxy	commcfg.ini
Java Web Generation	commcfg.properties
Java Web View	commcfg.properties
Java Proxy	commcfg.properties
ASP .NET	commcfg.txt
.NET Proxy	commcfg.txt

About server-to-server flows, certain server execution environments support the use of the commcfg runtime override. In these cases, the server runtime uses the following commcfg file:

Server Runtime	commcfg file name
EJB Runtime	commcfg.properties
.NET Servers	commcfg.txt

Each commcfg file provides the means of controlling certain runtime behavior including:

Transaction routing
Enabling and disabling trace activity
How the runtime cache the contents of the commcfg file

The CA Gen runtime code uses the following types of commcfg files, see the appendix "Comm Config Files":

commcfg.ini
commcfg.properties
commcfg.txt
