Explanation

1

Command line

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

2

xcom.cnf or
filename.cnf
filename.xml or
GUI transfer record

If the value is specified in the xcom.cnf file, or in a user-customized configuration file, filename.cnf, or in the transfer record created in the GUI or in an .xml configuration file saved through the GUI, 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 generally used by the system administrator to start CA XCOM Data Transport.

4

Program defaults

If a value is not specified anywhere, the program has its own defaults.
