Global parameters are stored externally in a file called xcom-globals.xml within the JBoss conf folder. This file is updated whenever parameters are changed using the Global Parameters page of the CA XCOM Management Center website. It is read when CA XCOM Management Center is started and its content at that time dictates the global parameters that are used. Therefore, when the file is updated, parameter changes do not take effect until the next time that CA XCOM Management Center is started.
As an alternative to updating the xcom-globals.xml file by using the website facilities, it is also possible to edit this file by using any suitable text editor. This method of changing global parameters can be used, for example, to correct parameter settings that prevent CA XCOM Management Center from starting.
The same xcom-globals.xml contains global parameters not only for CA XCOM Management Center, but also for the CA XCOM Interface Server and CA XCOM Gateway (if installed). Within the file, each product has its own section, which takes the form of a parent xml element embodying all of the attributes related to that product. When editing the file, it is important to ensure that only the correct section is modified and that sections relating to other products are left unchanged.
Important! We strongly recommend that a copy of the xcom-globals.xml file should always be saved before making any changes to the global parameters. Problematic changes can then be reversed by restarting CA XCOM Management Center after reinstating the saved file.
For more information about the format of the xcom-globals.xml file, see the appendix “XML Formats.”
