Parameter Values Used in the GUI

Parameter values can be defined to CA XCOM Data Transport when using the GUI as indicated in the following table. The values take precedence depending on where they are specified. The order in which parameter values take precedence is as follows:

Order	Parameter Value Specified in	Explanation
1.	Fields and options on-screen in the GUI and in an open configuration file	If the user specifies a value for a parameter on-screen through the GUI, this overrides every other specification in an open configuration file that has not been saved, and overrides any values in the program. If a configuration file is open, the unchanged values specified in that file are used and they override the values in the XCOM.GLB file. Note: When the configuration file is saved, the file is updated with the values that have been specified in the GUI.
2.	XCOM.GLB	If the value is specified in the XCOM.GLB file, it overrides the value in the program. The values specified in XCOM.GLB are system-wide defaults that are generally specified by the system administrator for use with CA XCOM Data Transport when it is started.
3.	Program defaults	If a value is not specified anywhere, the program has its own (hard-coded) defaults.

Explanation

Fields and options on-screen in the GUI and in an open configuration file

If the user specifies a value for a parameter on-screen through the GUI, this overrides every other specification in an open configuration file that has not been saved, and overrides any values in the program.

If a configuration file is open, the unchanged values specified in that file are used and they override the values in the XCOM.GLB file.

Note: When the configuration file is saved, the file is updated with the values that have been specified in the GUI.

XCOM.GLB

If the value is specified in the XCOM.GLB file, it overrides the value in the program. The values specified in XCOM.GLB are system-wide defaults that are generally specified by the system administrator for use with CA XCOM Data Transport when it is started.

Program defaults

If a value is not specified anywhere, the program has its own (hard-coded) defaults.
