Parameter Value Specified in

Explanation

1.

Command prompt

If the user specifies a value for a parameter at the command prompt, this overrides every other specification in the configuration files or the program.

2.

XCOM.CNF or FILENAME.CNF or FILENAME.XML

If the value is specified in the XCOM.CNF file, or in a user-customized configuration file specified on the command line (for example, FILENAME.CNF or FILENAME.XML) it overrides the value in the XCOM.GLB file.

3.

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.

4.

Program defaults

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