The Output Generator directory structure is organized so that your configuration changes are not lost between upgrades.
Files that you need to modify are provided in one of the following
formats:
- *.empty
files (for example, corba.properties.empty): Many configuration files are provided in the
initial installation with the .empty suffix.
Use these files as a template and remove the .empty suffix when saving them (keeping the original .empty file unmodified for backup).
The *.empty files are required by the Output Generator. You must configure them otherwise the Output Generator will not work.
- *-client.xml.orig files (for example, data/conductor-client.xml.orig): Some of the Ant conductor files are
provided in the initial installation with the -client.xml.orig suffix. Use these files as a template and rename the
-client suffix to your company name (for
example, conductor-acme.xml).
The *.orig files are optional.
- *.orig files
in the conf/client directory (for example,
conf/client/outputtypes.xml.orig): The
configuration files in the conf/client
directory are provided with the .orig suffix.
Use these files as a template and remove the .orig suffix when saving them (keeping the original .orig file unmodified for backup).
The *.orig files are optional.
