Configuration File Listing

This page lists the Configuration File. It changes with each HDSware release, so check the HDSware for the version currently in use. This file is listed in /HDSware/hds-fx/config/config.syntax.fx.

Note: if there is no value entered for a resource, or the value entered is prohibited (out of range or wrong type), the default value will be used.

Note: there must be no white space after the resource entry.

This file shows the syntax for the ViewStation's configuration files. An example of an actual configuration file is given in config.syntax.fx.

Note that [ YES | NO ] denotes a choice which must be specified as either YES or NO if this resource name is given. Do NOT write the enclosing square_brackets [ and ] or the vertical_bar |. The entry DOMAIN_NAME must be either a numeric IP_ADDRESS nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn or an alphanumeric NAME which can be resolved by a domain name server.
